This is a module for all students interested in using and understanding computers. In this module students will learn the practical skill of how to program a computer to make it do what they want it to do. Students will learn how to write simple computer programs that can solve problems; how to write simple programs that can process different sorts of information; and how to write programs that can respond differently to different situations. Students will find these skills very useful in all areas of study, not just computer science.
