Thanks Marco! Would this course be available to a rising 9th grader? Looks like this is one of the "College Credit Courses", which seem to be only available to rising juniors and seniors.
Good to see on-campus housing might be an option though in case that's preferable to commuting from NYC. Also, I didn't see Racket or any other resources used mentioned in the course description: Programming skills are important to virtually every profession. > Professionals must make decisions on how to achieve goals by deciding what > steps are necessary.
