This accelerated, credit-bearing course offers a unique blend of computer science fundamentals and ethical hacking, providing rising 10th graders with practical Python programming skills and academic credit.
The Marymount Summer School's Intro to Computer Science (Hacking and Security) is an accelerated, credit-bearing course designed for rising 10th-grade students. This program provides a foundational understanding of computer science, delving into the historical development of computers and early programming pioneers. Students will explore computer hardware and components, including storage capacity, connectors, input/output structures, and backup systems. A significant portion of the course focuses on troubleshooting, ethical hacking, and security challenges, particularly those related to social media. Participants will gain practical coding experience using Python, learning about flowcharts, basic input and functions, conditional structures, and loops. The curriculum is project-based, culminating in several student programming projects. This course is offered via Zoom with two mandatory in-person testing days on campus.
A typical day involves two hours of class instruction via Zoom from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by an hour of office hours from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
