Automate the Boring Stuff

Automate the Boring Stuff (AtBS) Project

After the Advanced Placement (AP) exam for AP CS Principles, the students developed prototypes that automated a boring task they or another population no longer wanted to complete manually. The students were to identify the boring task, and then prototype solutions. The students were expected to use computational tools to develop possible solutions in the process.

The student work samples below do not include the student's entire submission. Most of the students addressed the criteria (each row) of the rubric in a written document they submitted, although they were provided the opportunity to do so in an audio or video format.

What you will see below for the student work samples is the final iteration of the student's prototype.
