Description

This module requires basic programming and coding skills as covered in COR-IS1704 Computational Thinking and Programming. If you lack this foundation, please reconsider enrolling in this course. We begin our adventure by exploring the essential elements of Computing Systems — hardware, software, and network technologies — through a series of challenging yet fun learning activities. We grow our coding skills by building a networked, distributed computing system: starting with physical computing devices that unite the cyber and physical realms, we add fundamental networking capabilities for devices to exchange information and form networks, and finally integrate the system into the cloud. Equipped with newfound skills and knowledge, we unleash our creative energies, our youthful idealism, and our capacity to dream, by designing visionary technology to conquer a real-world societal challenge. This is a journey into the unknown. Yet, a still, small voice deep within us compels us: Courage! Do not be afraid! Put out into the deepest oceans and brave the stormiest seas! Let down your nets for an awesome catch! The adventure reaches its peak at the project showcase, where we witness the work of human hands come to fruition, leaving us inspired to reflect deeply and broadly about how we, as global citizens, can harness the power of Computing Systems as a potent force in the service of humanity.
