The Create Performance Task is a large programming project that THE STUDENT - NOT THE TEACHER - turns into the College Board prior to the AP Exam. The Create Task project is worth 30% of the AP Score. Students in the fall semester will be expected to turn in their project no later than Dec 17th. Students in the spring semester have until April 30th, 2026 at 11:59 pm. I would advise not waiting until the last minute because it takes a long time to submit at the last minute because so many people are submitting. The written portion of the Create task will take place on exam day, May 15, 2026. Each student is given 9 hours of class time to complete the project. Students will submit program code, video, and a student-authored project reference. There will be 2 written responses based on their code submission. There will be 2 written response questions in which students have 60 minutes to answer on the day of the exam.
The End of Course Exam will be May 15, 2026. This is a 70 question multiple choice exam. The multiple choice section is worth 70% of the AP score. The exam consists of the following: 57 single-select multiple choice, 5 single-select with reading passage about a computing innovation, and 8 multiple-select multiple-choice: select 2 answers.
A student who fails to meet the deadlines for the Create Project will be graded according to Greenville High's Late Work Policy. Failure to submit the Create Project Requirements will result in a fine (the cost of the AP Exam) that will be billed on the student account. Student account balances must be paid before getting driving permits, going to prom, and graduation. The Create Project will be completed during class and this project will be an important part of the grade during 4th quarter.
PLTW Computer Science Principles is a full semester course and is recommended for grades 10-12 grades. It is aligned to the College Board AP CSP exam requirements and framework (CS K12). In Computer Science Principles, students develop the in-demand computer science skills critical to thrive in any of today's and tomorrow's careers. The course promotes computational thinking and coding fundaments using Python and introduces tools that foster creativity. CSP aims to build students' awareness of the tremendous demand for computer scientists and those who have computational thinking skills, and engages students to consider issues raised by the impact of computing on society. Each unit also focuses on one or more computer science specific career paths.
In order to write algorithms and programs, students need an Integrated Development Environment(IDE). We will be incorporating PLTW projects using CodeHS Python course which has a built in IDE built specifically for education.
Greenville County Schools is committed to complying with applicable information, security requirements and protocols complying with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). While lessons on PLTW's website is approved by GCS, many of the tools built into the PLTW CSP course are not approved. In almost every lesson the PLTW curriculum uses an interactive code editor called Trinket. Trinket is not approved by GCS under COPPA because of it's open source nature. All student work needs to be completed inside the code editor that is compliant with COPPA. The CodeHS IDE is completely contained within their domain which is fully approved by GCS.

PLTW course does not offer AP testing. SyllabI are posted above this post, along with the PLTW Syllabus. AP CSA is another course that will be offered in the spring.
