9. What makes AP CSP different?

10. Curricular FocusProblem solving and object-oriented programming Big ideas of computer science (including programming) Programming Language JavaTeachers choose Course GoalEncourage skill development among students considering future studies & career in computer science or other STEM fields Encourage broader participation in CS & STEM, including AP CSA Assessment Experience ► Multiple-choice and free- response questions ► Multiple-choice exam ► Two performance tasks administered by the teacher, and students submit digital artifacts 10 Two AP ® Computer Science Courses Computer Science PrinciplesComputer Science A

11. ► Creative problem solving ► How to apply computational processes to analyze large data sets ► Programming ► How the Internet works and important cyber security issues ► Impacts of computing innovations AP Computer Science Principles offers a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on the creative aspects of programming. About the Course Students will learn: “Every student has this ability to create things that they didn’t even imagine they could create. And when they do, it starts to draw them in and inspire them to think well beyond what they even imagined.” —Richard Kick AP ® Computer Science Principles Teacher 11

15. ► Explore – Impact of Computing Innovations  Investigate a computing innovation using credible sources  Create an artifact that provides information about the innovation’s intended purpose  PDF, video, or audio  Written responses to describe its usage, relationship to data and impacts ► Create – Applications from Ideas  Develop a computer program  Flexibility to select the purpose of their program  Effectively implement programming elements from the language being used  Students may work collaboratively at various stages of the development process  Each student submits their own individual program Performance Tasks 15

16. Variations of the AP CSP course exists in colleges and universities:  Duke University – Students earning a 4 or 5 on the AP CSP Exam will earn credit and placement out of Compsci 92.  UC Berkeley – Students will earn credit and placement out of CS10, The Beauty and Joy of Computing. 16 Universities Create Their Own Version of AP CSP
