Code.org Computer Science A

Grade 12 (URI college credit available for students)

Computer Science A (CSA) introduces students to software engineering and object-oriented design while learning the Java programming language.

The Code.org CSA curriculum is recommended for any high school student who wishes to continue their computer science education after completing an introductory course, such as CS Principles or CS Discoveries (CSD).

Code.org’s CSA curriculum is designed to make introductory Java programming more accessible and engaging for students who have traditionally been underrepresented in computer science, particularly young women and students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
