Applied Computer Science

Software and AI

About the Class

Foundations of Software and AI is the first semester of a free, year-long high school computer science course offered at Bletchley Commons. It is designed for students who want to understand how modern software actually works and start building real things with the help of AI tools.
โ€
Each week, students tackle a new concept and immediately apply it by building a small project. By the end of the semester, they have deployed multiple working applications to the internet and have the vocabulary, confidence, and hands-on experience to take on more ambitious builds in semester two.
โ€
The course is designed for high school students, but is open to any student 13 or older, and counts as 0.5 credits toward a high school computer science credit. No prior experience is required. Students need a laptop, a Discord account, and a willingness to figure things out.
