The currently in-progress Bio-CS curriculum is designed to teach students of varying computer science backgrounds the fundamental concepts of computer programming using a variety of languages, including HTML, CSS, Javascript, Netlogo and Starlogo. Using various applications of these languages, the curriculum aims to teach the concept of computational thinking, an essential skill in computer science. This curriculum aims to combine the topics of Biology and Computer Science by using agent-based modeling to test hypotheses and model environments. The curriculum is being expanded to better fit the AP Computer Science Principles curriculum, by addressing major topics covered by the course in new lessons and activities.
