Welcome to INQ 241! Over the course of this semester, we are going to go on a journey exploring how to speak the language of computers. Our focus this semester will be how we can use computers and programming to modify the media we use most in this world: images, music, and movies.
If anyone ever tells you there's no such thing as fun and games in CS, feel free to point them to this activity. There is a wonderful game called LightBot, which introduces a lot of programming topics. For today, we are going to play several levels from this game, and attempt to connect it back to our main subject matter.
This semester, you are going to learn a programming language known as Python. Python is a great language to learn, since it can run on basically any device you can think of. Today we will introduce how you are going to program in the Python language, using the JES.
