====== Karel J. Robot ======
This unit will pose and answer such questions as, "What is the art of computer science/programming? What is it about computer programming that makes it both pure logic and mathematics based and yet highly creative and dynamic at the same time? Can I meld my creative side with my enthusiasm for science and engineering?

Learn to program in a fun, visual manner using Karel the Robot. Students will learn the Java programming language, the most widely used language for introductory computer science among colleges and universities - not to mention industry and the AP program.
