Thought for the Week
AP Computer Science Principles
It's crunch time! Monday, May 2nd at 10:59pm is the deadline for the APCSP "Create" Performance task. Please be sure to upload your assignment as it accounts for 30% of the overall AP score. The digital portfolio site has been experiencing increased traffic, so please expect delays. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to complete the upload process! Please contact Mrs. Kamenar ASAP if you have technological issues.
This week, we will be going through our last three "Big Ideas" for the AP exam. Please be sure to bring the "5 Steps to a 5" book to class with you each day. The AP Exam is on Monday, May 9th at noon.
App Development
It's time for our summative end-of-unit app challenge, Tip Calculator. For this assignment, students will design and code an app to be used when visiting a restaurant. The user will be able to enter in the bill amount, select a desired tip percentage, and calculate the gratuity to be left. Additionally, students can add a feature to let you know how much each person needs to chip in when you split the bill with friends.
Programming the Web 1
This week, our primary focus will be on responsive web design. Students will learn how to add in "media queries" to design different web page looks for desktop, tablet, and phone devices. Along with this week, students will need to read chapters 17 and 19 as well as complete the accompanying reading guide (due Tuesday). We will have one tutorial-based assignment (12A) and a set of multiple choice-review questions that will take place on Wednesday. We will end the week by talking about how to optimize graphics for webpages.

There has been a change to the exam schedule that was posted last week. Please view the updated schedule for the end of the year below.
