Course description:

The AP Computer Science Principles course is designed to be equivalent to a first-semester introductory college computing course. This computer science focused course will develop innovative thinking vital for interdisciplinary success. Students will use logical thinking and computational tools to analyze and study large data sets and draw conclusions from trends. 

In this course, students will develop computational thinking vital for success across all disciplines, such as using computational tools to analyze and study data and working with large data sets to analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from trends. The course is unique in its focus on fostering student creativity. Students are encouraged to apply creative processes when developing computational artifacts and to think creatively while using computer software and other technology to explore questions that interest them. They will also develop effective communication and collaboration skills, working individually and collaboratively to solve problems, and discussing and writing about the importance of these problems and the impacts to their community, society, and the world.

*Note: All students are expected to take the AP Computer Science Principles exam.

This course meets at a regular time.
