Computer science

At a time when the digital world is becoming increasingly important, the subject of Computer Science at the Selma Lagerlöf Secondary School opens a window to exciting opportunities and forward-looking technologies. Here, students not only immerse themselves in the depths of the digital landscape but also learn how to actively shape it. It is essential that young people are equipped with the tools they need to act confidently and competently in our digital society.

Programming – The Key to Digital Creation

At the heart of Computer Science lessons is the fascinating world of programming. From the very first day, students discover the fundamental building blocks of coding: variables, loops, and conditions. Using an easy-to-understand programming language specifically designed for beginners, they can quickly create their own programs and small games. These creative achievements not only encourage logical thinking but also develop valuable problem-solving skills — competencies that are invaluable in all areas of life.

Hands-On Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

One of the highlights of Computer Science lessons is working with LEGO Mindstorms robots. Classrooms are transformed into high-tech laboratories where students build and program their own robots. These robots can avoid obstacles, respond to sounds, or even solve tasks independently — all controlled by code written by the students themselves. This playful introduction to artificial intelligence demonstrates how technology works in practice while also being great fun. Most importantly, the skills students acquire prepare them ideally for a future shaped by digital technologies.

Understanding AI – Navigating Digital Life Responsibly

In addition to practical applications, another major focus is helping students understand the role of artificial intelligence in their everyday lives. They learn how AI is integrated into social media, voice assistants, and many other applications, and how this affects daily life. The aim is to develop critical awareness that enables students to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the digital world with confidence and responsibility.

With the subject of Computer Science at the Selma Lagerlöf Secondary School, we lay the foundation for a safe, creative, and responsible use of tomorrow’s digital technologies.
