Year - Credit 2 - Grade 11 - Est. Fee $50 - 2 periods per day
It is expected that all Tech Prep students will successfully complete
Algebra II before graduating.
Students in Interactive Media Technology I will create, design, and produce
interactive multi-media products and services. This Tech Prep program of
study emphasizes the development of digitally-generated or computer-enhanced
media. Students will use multi-media technology to develop products/
programs for business, training, entertainment, communications and
marketing. Students will be introduced to animation, digital imaging, Web
page development, interactive digital media, graphical interfaces, and video
production. Project areas will include Web Design, Video Production, Graphic
Design, and combining all areas into an interactive media project.

8651 HONORS VISUAL BASIC & C++ (at NV)
Year - Credit 2 - Grade: 11-12 - Est. Fee $20 - 2 periods per day
Prerequisite: Programming 1 and enrolled in or completed Algebra II
Object oriented programming will be emphasized through Visual Basic 1st
semester and C++ second semester. Visual Basic is the preeminent
programming language for Windows based applications. You will learn the
visual component (command buttons, text boxes, picture boxes, and more) to
design screen layouts. Then you will learn the BASIC language (branching,
loops, arrays, files, and more) to manipulate these screen objects to
create useful applications. You will also learn advanced skills such as
accessing information in a database and creating reports. C++ focuses on
the design stage of computer program development and the coding of
programs. Topics covered include structure techniques, data types,
input/output, assignment statements, selection structure, repetition
structure, functions, hierarchy charts, arrays, pointers, and data
structures.
8656 AP JAVA (at NV)
Year - Credit 2 - Grade: 12 - Est. Fee $20 - 2 periods per day
Prerequisite: Honors Visual Basic and C++
Java programming focuses on the AP curriculum through the use of data
structures. Topics include input/output, selection, repetition, methods,
vectors, and linked lists. Applets and graphics will also be introduced.
