Students will be able to
1. define problems, find regularities, and come up with a general solution to solve similar problems;
2. use the tool to produce a flowchart and to describe the procedure of solving problems;
3. use the tool to convert the flowchart into Java programming language;
4. use Processing to create interactive games.Students will be able to

This course is for non-computer science majors to get familiar with computational thinking and basic programming skills. It aims at helping students learn logic thinking to solve problems and basic programming skills to carry out the process. Students will be able to develop and innovate problem-solving strategies, and test drive the plan using basic programming skills. Computer programming experience is NOT a prerequisite for taking this class.
