AP Computer Science and App Development

If you like working with computers and think you might like to learn to program, then this is definitely the right program for you. You will work with state of the art facilities, computers and tablets as you learn Java.   

Over the course of the school year students will learn relevant computer science skills and be prepared to take the AP exam for the potential to earn college credit in high school.  The AP Computer Science A course introduces students to computer science with fundamental topics that include problem solving, design strategies and methodologies, organization of data (data structures), approaches to processing data (algorithms), analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing. 

Students are encouraged to participate in SkillsUSA.
