Welcome to ECS at Lindblom Math and Science Academy !

Exploring Computer Science with Mr. Sidarous

I'm excited for a year of learning at Lindblom. ECS stands for Exploring Computer Science. This class is designed to introduce students to the breadth of the field of computer science through an exploration of engaging and accessible topics. Rather than focusing the entire course on learning particular software tools or programming languages, the course is designed to focus on the conceptual ideas of computing and help students understand why certain tools or languages might be utilized to solve particular problems. The goal of Exploring Computer Science is to develop in students the computational practices of algorithm development, problem solving and programming within the context of problems that are relevant to the lives of today’s students. Students will also be introduced to topics such as interface design, limits of computers, and societal and ethical issues.

While remote learning is a different modality than we are used to, I'm confident that we can learn, engage, collaborate and have fun this school year. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns via the form at the bottom of this page. It is my sincere belief that all students, when provided with appropriate supports, can do incredible things and achieve at the highest levels. If I can do anything to support you reach these goals, let me know.
