Getting Started

Hello and welcome to Information Processing.

This is a CTF (Career and Technology Foundations) class.  You set your own goals and work toward completion using feedback and prototyping to figure things out. Set challenging goals, build a skill set, use the internet to solve problems and stay focused.

Below is a whole bunch of links to some of the things students are doing in our class, I am always adding more, let me know if you have a suggestion.

Spend your first class checking out your options and exploring what other students are working on. Then you set a goal, let me know what it is, and get going!

Information Processing - Getting Started

This class could be called many things (coding, computer science, digital design) but in the end it will be about 3 things and the way you approach them:

1. Learn new skills.
2. Create original work.
3. Work together.

To get you started thinking about what you want to explore and learn I will start you on a tour of what I know to be available online. If you have any suggestions/tips please leave them in the COMMENT SECTION.
