In addition to new activity types and engagement strategies, the new CS201 course includes some coding concepts that were previously found in later semesters, or are entirely new to the TechSmart curriculum. These Python concepts have been added to increase our coverage of national and state standards, as well as to better prepare students for the PCEP and MTA Python certification exams.
