Unlike the previous programs, our after school course for Grades 9-12 focuses on career opportunities and options for aspiring coders. Our goal is to provide future programmers with the next step in their computer science education and expand their horizons on the near limitless boundaries of what can be accomplished with code. The primary language being covered in this program is C++, which is an object based language.
Throughout the course students will be challenged with various exercises that will provide a foundation in writing and debugging computer software and other industrial practices that require the use of code. The final project of the course will focus making a game of their own design using Unreal Engine 4, which heavily relies on C++. While exercises will be completed and monitored on an individual basis, students will be required to work in groups for the final project, challenging them to combine all the knowledge they have acquired throughout the course and work together to make one cohesive final product. Planning, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking, are just some of the instrumental skills students will pick up by the time they’ve graduated from this course.
Throughout this course the students who participate will hone instrumental skills that were provided in the previous course in addition to learning C++. IT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR STUDENTS TO HAVE TAKEN THE GRADES 5-8 COURSE TO PARTAKE IN THE GRADES 9-12 COURSE, however the knowledge acquired from the Grades 5-8 course carries over and is expanded upon in the Grades 9-12 course. If the student has graduated from all three courses they will receive a certificate of completion.
