Course Description:
Computer Science, taught by Ms. Taricco, introduces students to web design techniques and allows them to design and develop their own personal, professional websites. The course also helps students develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills through coding exercises and labs. Students explore various coding langauges, including HTML, CSS, and Java, and participate in coding competitions such as the American Computer Science League (ACSL). All these assignments provide students with skills to build, analyze, and improve software, as well as make real-world applications for society.
Line Art Lab
Using iteration and java graphic applets, this lab helped us practice for loops and if-else statements. Although the image (at the bottom of the document) appears to contain multiple curved lines, the entire graphic was created using just straight lines, creating an illusion using basic java coding skills.
AWT Lab
One of the first graphics lab we completed using Java Applet was this AWT lab, where we got to practice drawing different shapes and objects, such as a sphere fitting perfectly in a cube, a pacman flower, our initials, and an inscribed circle in triangle in circle. Although the actual code was simple to write, it was difficult to figure out what combinations of numbers would result in the correct image, so this was a perfect lab to practice those skills.
