30580 Introduction to Programming - 1 Trimester – PV-TEC 10 11 12

Prerequisite: Math IA, IB, IC with a grade of B or better
Co-requisite: Cyber Security

This introductory course in computer programming is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in coding, using Python as the primary language (subject to change). Throughout the course, students will understand and apply fundamental programming concepts such as variables, loops, and functions, write their own programs, gain practical experience in coding, develop the ability to identify and fix errors in their code, study standard program design principles to create efficient and effective code and explore the intersection of programming and creativity by learning to make music using Python.

30533 Cyber Security - 1 Trimester – PV-TEC 10 11 12

Prerequisite: Math IA, IB, IC with a grade of B or better  
Co-requisite: Introduction to Programming

This is a beginning level course for security professionals, and network and system administrators. Students will develop a better understanding of how you protect your information assets and defend against attacks, as well as how to apply these concepts to make your environment more secure. We use several resources including virtual servers to practice on Kali Linux. State code 101520 - STEM course

64581 Programming and Software Development IA - 1 Trimester - PV-TEC 11 12

Prerequisite: Introduction to Programming and Cyber Security
Co-requisite: Programming and Software Development IB

Building on the foundations established in Intro to Programming, this course delves deeper into Python programming. Students will continue their exploration of Python by learning about functions, selection, and iteration, gain a unique perspective by learning programming concepts through the lens of video game terminology and practice, write more complex programs, enhance their coding skills and understanding, develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities by tackling programming challenges, and improve their debugging and testing skills to ensure their code runs smoothly.
