AP Computer Science

Welcome to Computer Science.
It’s awesome, it’s everywhere, it’s for everyone. Today, every technology and field is under the umbrella of Computer Science. Everyone in this world is interacting with and affected by this technology every day, no matter who you are.  You can learn computer science to harness the Power of this technology, and apply it to whatever you are interested in.  Computer science is affecting every industry and every field.  It’s affecting every aspect of our modern life.   Computer science is all about Innovation, this technology allows you to create things that exist in the world that are being used every day. For example, Apps, social media, AI, etc. Computer science is all the innovations that are impactful in our everyday lives.

Course Objectives:
AP Computer Science Principles is intended to simulate an introductory college computing course. This course demonstrates the relevance of computer science by highlighting the importance of computing in society. Students will utilize Big 5 ideas that are central to computer science to sharpen their computational skills by analyzing, visualizing, planning, and drawing conclusions from trends in large data sets. Students are asked to think creatively to solve problems and analyze computer data to forecast a future trend. This class will learn how computer science and technology affect today’s society. Scholars will study machine language and programming language; they will learn how to convert binary number systems to decimal systems.  Also, Students will develop computational thinking skills necessary for success in many disciplines such as software or platforms, and other online apps to write algorithms in Python program language. The course endeavors to teach students to be creative and to use the creative process to solve computational problems. Students will construct and implement solutions to complex problems like what computer scientists and computer engineers do. Finally, students will be learning how to create apps and get students prepared for the College Board Exam.

For high school students computer science subject is mainly concentrated on writing apps and 5 Big Ideas. To empower scholars, through research-based practices and an integrated system of support, to be globally responsible, including collaborative robust computer skills with the latest technology updated in a data science realm related to STEM, eSports, Programming, and the Gaming industry.  Therefore, I incorporated all together computer programming skills such as Python code, Scratch block code, Unreal Engine blueprint, and along with Computer Science’s Big Ideas Learning for both of my Computer Science Explore and AP Computer Science Principles classes.
