By the end of this course adult learners will be able to:

Understand and use key concepts relating to computational thinking of which problem decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms to analyse a problem and develop solutions
Understand and use logical reasoning involved in creating an algorithm to solve a problem
Understand and use basic programming constructs of which conditions, variables, events, data types, and logic in a program
Improve code efficiency and functionality by applying iteration, conditional statements, procedures, and functions, as well as events and commands in a program
Develop, debug and test basic code
Predict the behaviour of algorithms and code
Create, reuse, revise and re-purpose digital artefacts for a given audience, with attention to trustworthiness, design and usability
Use two or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems
