Overview Create Performance Task

Programming is a collaborative and creative process that brings ideas to life through the development of software. In the Create performance task, you will design and implement a program that might solve a problem, enable innovation, explore personal interests, or express creativity. Your submission must include the elements listed in the Submission Requirements section below.

You are allowed to collaborate with your partner(s) on the development of the program only. The written response and the video that you submit for this performance task must be completed individually, without any collaboration with your partner(s) or anyone else. You can develop the code segments used in the written responses (parts 3b and 3c) with your partner(s) or on your own during the administration of the performance task.

Please note that once this performance task has been assigned as an assessment for submission to College Board, you are expected to complete the task without assistance from anyone except for your partner(s) and then only when developing the program code. You must follow the Guidelines for Completing the Create Performance Task section found in the Student Handouts. Be sure to read through the Student Handouts prior to beginning your performance task.

General Requirements

You will be provided with a minimum of 12 hours of class time to complete and submit the following:

• Final program code (created independently or collaboratively)

• A video that displays the running of your program and demonstrates functionality you developed (created independently)

• Written responses to all the prompts in the performance task (created independently)

NOTE: We have not covered and practiced all these various topics yet, but will have done so by the time you will be coding your project in March 2023.
