What's Going On? September 25th through September 29th

Thought for the Week

 

App Development

This week, students will wrap up our study of "Images" with a code challenge.  Once this is complete, students will move into our first summative end-of-unit app challenge for the year.  In this "Hello World / About Me" app, students will demonstrate their ability to add text, images, and style elements to an app.  Students will be assessed on their ability to code the app as well as their ability to design an aesthetically appealing app.  We want all of our apps to look good and function well!

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, we will continue our study of the Python programming language.  We will spend some time
implementing different types of loops: for loops and while loops while we complete Activity 1.1.4: Spinning Spirographs.  Next, we will investigate and classify different types of errors that programmers can expect to encounter while writing code.  We will discuss syntax errors, runtime errors, and logical errors.  We will also talk about the importance of creating comments and documentation in order to communicate with ourselves, our programming team, and our end-user.
