I took CPSC 110 at UBC with Gregor Kiczales (who worked at Xerox PARC). It was the best course I’ve ever taken.
The course can also be completed for free: https://www.edx.org/bio/gregor-kiczales
How to code - simple data, and how to code - complex data together make up the material in CPSC 110 (though there are probably some differences). They’re completely accessible with no background requirements.
The courses are based on this curriculum, which uses HTDP: https://programbydesign.org/
The programming language used is based on scheme.
