We emphasize the 5 Control Structures of Programming. In the narrative of this introductory Course, the relevance and importance of the fundamental control structures: Sequence, Repetition, Function, Selection, and Communication will arise naturally; and we set up a minimum set of ‘do-able’exercises to ensure a basic level of programming experience with these structures and further Activities to develop expertise.

​

We Use Different Approaches — algorithmic thinking to construct and evaluate different programs and solutions. Encourage creativity, trial and error, looking for symmetry, patterns, induction, deduction, enquiry-based learning. Try different approaches to a problem.
