New Mexico Computer Science for All

Learning Objective: This week focuses on the fundamental computer science concept of Abstraction. In NetLogo, the student learns about local variables, looping and iteration. The science concept of Complex Adaptive Systems are also introduced.

While the coding portion of the module isn't due until the end of the module, it is always best to review the programming challenges and extensions at the beginning of the week, ask questions about them and start coding.
