This subject introduces computational thinking and fundamental concepts of programming, sensors, data, and robotics for students who might not have experienced the joy of programming before. It uses visual languages and its own technology to introduce concepts quickly, and enable you to build powerful programs and creations. In the latter part of the subject, you will make the transition to working in text-based languages (e.g., JavaScript). Students are also introduced to mark-up languages (e.g., HTML), connectivity, and the Internet of Things.
