AP Computer Science Principles

This is an introductory college-level computing course which introduces students to the field of computer science. They learn to: 

• Design and evaluate solutions and to apply computer science to solve problems through the development of algorithms and programs.

• Incorporate abstraction into programs and use data to discover new knowledge.

• Explain how computing innovations and computing systems—including the internet—work, explore their potential impacts, and contribute to a computing culture that is collaborative and ethical.

The course will also prepare students to pass the Advanced Placement exam which can reward college credit
