The Craft of Computing

Become a skilled user of computers through playful exploration

The Craft of Computing is the first course in the information sciences major and minor. The course is designed to be an accessible and hands-on exploration of different facets of
computing. Through this exploration, we hope to initiate the transformation of students from being passive consumers of technology to active creators and problem solvers. The course features a series of activities through which students get comfortable with using a command line and become introduced to the Python programming language and the use of microcontrollers. The course will also encourage students to get to know each other and learn to work together.
