APCPS: Agenda

Our time this week will be split between Activity 1.2.4: Turtle Escape and some preparation for the AP Exam.  On Monday and Thursday, students will work on Activity 1.2.4 where they will work on creating a maze program that will allow a "Turtle" object to navigate throughout a maze.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will spend some time viewing some videos provided by AP Classroom and completing some sample AP Exam-style questions.

App Development

This week, we will begin our third unit of the year.  We will start off this week by completing our Pre-Unit hackwich, Commission Pay.  We will then spend the rest of the week diving into our discussion of "Functions".  Students will learn how to write more efficient code by writing their own custom functions.
