Thought for the Week

Friday's Early Release Schedule

Looking Ahead: Final Exam Schedule

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will work on their AI culminating summative project.  Students may work individually or in small groups to continue their research on AI.  The important aspects of the project include:

• Define AI

• How is it currently being used?  Give specific examples.

• Explain (generally) how machines learn over time.

• Potential use (and misuse) of AI by high school students

• Misinformation and AI

• Ethical issues related to AI

• Mental health issues related to AI

• Career Opportunities in AI

• Your personal recommendation about the use and regulation of AI

• Your personal prediction about the future of AI

Students should be ready to present their projects to the class starting on Tuesday, May 30th.

App Development 1

This week, students will wrap up their "Word Play" Mad Lib-style app.  Once this is finished, students will have the remaining time of the semester to work on their final project.  Students have two options for the final.  One is to investigate a new feature or technique that we have not formally learned about in class.  Students will then create a tutorial-style video on how to use the feature in an app.  The other choice is for students to create a fully-functional app of their choosing.  Students who create a full app are encouraged to submit their work to the Uncharted Learning "Build Your Own App" contest.  Students may work alone or in small groups on their projects.  All work is due by the end of the final exam period.

App Development 2

Students will have the remaining time of the semester to work on their final project. Students will create a full app of their choice.  Students must incorporate at least one of the major elements we learned about throughout the course of the semester.  These topics include UIMapKit, TableViews, custom classes, and SpriteKit.  Students are encouraged to submit their work to the Uncharted Learning "Build Your Own App" contest.  Students may work alone or in small groups on their projects.  All work is due by the end of the final exam period.
