What's Going On? December 11th through 15th

Thought for the Week

App Development

We will start off this week by working on our "Event Coding Challenge".  Within this challenge, students
will write code that will trigger when items are tapped, pressed, and submitted.  Once this is complete, students will work on our summative end-of-unit app challenge called "Tip Calculator".  In this app, students will create a project that is designed to be used when dining out.  The user can enter in the total cost of the bill, select a tip percentage, and calculate the amount to be left for the server.  Additionally, students can extend the app to split the check among several people.

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will wrap up their "Buzz-Feed" style personality quizzes.  Students have been tasked with writing code in small groups that uses arrays, variables, functions, selection statements, and loops.  This project is aligned with our official AP Create task that students will work on in February to submit to the AP board as part of the AP exam score.
