What's Going On? October 2nd through October 6th

Thought for the Week

Homecoming Events

Check out the plan for our Homecoming events for the week.

App Development

This week, we will dive into our second unit of the year: Multiply.  To start off this week, we will complete our pre-unit app called "Repeat After Me".  In this app, students will experiment with variables, textfields, buttons, and more.  This app will serve as the foundation for our unit.  Once we complete this app, we will spend some time talking about design, (including Apple's specific HIGS), where to get help interpreting Apple's documentation, and how to create an algorithm to solve a problem.

AP Computer Science Principles

To start off this week, we will take a look at Activity 1.1.7: Traversing Turtles.  Students will be introduced to the concept of an "array" as a way to manage some of the complexity of our program.  At the end of the week, we will work on Activity 1.1.8: Turtles in Traffic.  In this example, students will compare the position of different turtle objects and determine when they collide using "if...else" statements.
