Computer Science

The Seaford Computer Science Department is committed to foster problem solving skills while encouraging students to be active creators of computer technologies. Computer science can be defined as “the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software design, their applications, and their impact on society. In simple terms, computer science is the study of why and how computers work, including programming, or coding.

The NYS Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards
In 2020, the Board of Regents adopted the Computer Science and Digital Fluency Standards for Grades K-12. The new standards focus on five key concepts:

The NYS Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards

These related areas of computer science and digital fluency have been combined under one “umbrella” to create a comprehensive, cohesive set of learning standards that represent the essential knowledge and skills in these areas that students should possess upon graduation in order to be successful in college, careers, and citizenship in the 21st Century. 

Middle School Computer Science Program

At the middle school level, all 6th grade students receive foundational skills in the 6th grade CTE Computer Science Course that follows the standards in NYS course code 60000: CTE Middle Level Introduction to Computer Science (Grades 5-6). All 6th grade students in Seaford participate in Computer Science every-other-day for the full year. Additionally, coursework taught to seventh grade students follows the standards expected for the NYS course code 10000: CTE Middle Level Introduction to Computer Science 7-8). All 7th grade students in Seaford participate in Computer Science every day for one full Quarter. 

We also offer non-CTLE Computer Science Middle School Elective Courses for our scholars who wish to take additional computer science and robotics courses. These courses include the PLTW 6th grade Computer Science for Innovators and Makers and 8th grade STEM Robotics.
