Yes. You can make programs directly on the calculator by pressing the PRGM button and selecting NEW. Or, you can download TI-Connect free at the ti site and use that program to make programs. Making programs on the computer is faster and allows you to save the programs as normal computer files. Then you use a cable to send the programs to you calculator. You can also send programs from your calculator to your computer. I would recommend programming on ti-connect and sending the files to your calculator, just make sure you don't exceed the memory, which shouldn't be that much of a problem on the silver edition.
