What's Going On? April 19th through April 22nd

  Thought for the Week



Schedule for the Week

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will be working on their Data Summative project.  For this project, students are looking to answer a question with data.  Students are able to find data from sites such as the USDA quick stats site or the data.gov site for different data sets.  The students then downloaded the data as a CSV file.  Using Python, students will process the data and create a graph.  Based on the graph, students will draw conclusions and try to answer their questions based on the data.  All summative projects will be due by the end of class on Thursday.

Once the summative project concludes, we will begin our review for the AP Exam.  Please click here for a letter about the details of the AP Exam period.




App Development

This week, our focus will be on the scope of a variable and conditionals.  We will talk about how we know where variables can be accessed and why.  We will also talk about how we can use code to make decisions within our app.  Students will have a short check-in on Thursday and we will work on a coding demo during class on Friday.
