Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! I'm excited to have you in class, and I hope you're looking forward to a good year of learning about computer science.
Computer Science (CS) is the theoretical, scientific, and mathematical approach to information and its computation. AP Computer Science A (AP CS A) focuses on computing skills related to programming in Java, an industry standard, high-level language. In this class, we will use the ProjectSTEM online curriculum, which aligns closely to the AP exam and has helped previous students be well prepared. It is my sincere belief that every student can learn computer science!
Here's what we're doing in class for the first week of school:
Welcome to AP Computer Science! - first day presentation
get logged in to ProjectSTEM
start Unit 1: Primitive Types
Unit 1: Lesson 1 - Output In Java
I hope you have a great first week and that you're able to get some rest this weekend before we attempt to go to school for five full days without strange bell schedules. Let me know you have any questions!
