What's Going On? December 18th through December 22nd

Thought for the Week

Festive Dress-Up Days

Join in the fun!

App Development

At the start of this week, students will wrap up their summative end-of-until App Challenge called "Tip Calculator.  This app is designed to be used when eating at a restaurant and you would like to leave a tip for the server.

Once this is complete, we will move into our Pre-Unit Hackwich called "Intergalactic Travel".  In this app, students will learn how to create a new Class, create objects of the class, transition to different app screens, and pass data between them.

AP Computer Science Principles

Now that we have wrapped up our "Buzz Feed-style" personality quizzes, it is time to take a closer look at
what the AP board would expect from our responses.  We will spend Monday's class analyzing some projects that have been submitted by other students on the AP board.  We will look closely at rubrics to decide how to best phrase our answers to fully answer all of the prompts that may be presented by the AP board.  Once we have a better grasp of what the AP board is looking for, students will have a chance to take a second look at their responses and make any necessary modifications to best answer the questions.  At the end of the week, students will start our next summative project.  Students will be tasked with creating a program where the user can play a card game.  Students may choose their game from Go Fish, Black Jack, Poker, Old Maid, Uno, and more.
