What's Going On? May 7th through May 11th

AP Computer Science Principles

This is it!  What we have been working toward all year!  Our AP exam will occur on Friday, May 11th at noon.  Be sure to bring in two wooden #2 pencils and leave your smartwatches/fitbits and phones at home.  Students will participate in the two hour, 74 question multiple choice exam on Friday afternoon.  During our week leading up to the exam, we will take a practice exam, analyze any errors, and go over any last minute questions.  We have been going through some review materials in class, and all of our resources can be found on our BlackBoard class website under the "review" tab.


App Development 1

This week, students will be working on our "Word Play" app.  For this app, students will work with multiple view controllers and practice passing data between them.  Students will create and manipulate a short sentence through the app.

App Development 2

This week, students should be in full swing of the "Brick Breaker" app.  Students will be working with Swift GameScene in order to create the classic game that involves a paddle, a ball, and at least 4 bricks.  The challenge comes in the physics that will allow the ball to bounce off of other objects and eliminate the bricks.

Programming the Web 2

This week, students will be diving into some of the features of HTML5 Canvas.  Students will draw a face using the functions of canvas, including drawing lines, circles, and adding text using a coordinate system.
