This will be a long three part blog about how we are using the Raspberry Pi in the Feynlabs program as a way to introduce Computer science to kids. I'd be a bit worried about a CS course that includes BASIC—that indicates to me a course design that has not been thought about for a LONG, LONG time. The Computer Science A test is all that College Board offers in computer science. A program like this is already in effect at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and has been for years. The Raspberry Pi is a platform – and as it's creators have the community which will drive it's direction and evolution. Finally, students learn languages such as BASIC and C++ to begin writing programs as they are formally introduced to computer programming. Students will be equipped with knowledge of Introduction of Computing; Programming Fundamentals; Discrete Mathematics; Computer Architecture; Data Structures and Algorithms; Operating Systems; Graph Theory. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. The Computer and Information Systems (CIS) program prepares students for transfer to a four-year college and also supports career technical education programs. Feynlabs is using the Raspberry Pi to teach the concepts of programming languages to kids and in doing so, creating a new way in which deep principles of Computer Science can be introduced to kids. Introduction to UNIX/Linux; Microsoft Windows Client Administration; Introduction to Client/Server Relational Database Management Systems; Introduction to Managing and Securing a Web Server; Introduction to Programming Database-Driven Websites With PHP; Introduction to Internet Programming. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design More information. Overview of the program: This program provides students with a strong theoretical foundation and practical skills to plan, analyze, design, and implement computer software systems for commercial and government uses. This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education.
