Badge Description

The Elements of Computer Programming badge provides learners with an introduction to programming concepts and techniques used in problem solving. Learners study general programming concepts as well as a modern programming language that illustrates those concepts. Learners design, implement and test programs to solve problems primarily in IT, business and science, developing the ability to logically plan and develop programs. Topics may include I/O, expressions, types, variables, branching, loops, web programming, program planning and simple multimedia programming. Students will apply their knowledge through hands-on programming projects, learning to write, test and debug programs.
