The Beauty and Joyof Computing

An AP CS: Principles Curriculum

• Programming in

Snap! supports recursion, higher order functions, and OOP.Program in the browser; no installation required.

• Social implications and context via• Topics include abstraction, graphics, applications, programming paradigms, concurrency, algorithms, games, recursion, privacy, copyright, game theory, higher order functions, artificial intelligence, limitations of computing, and the future of computing.

Funded under NSF grants1138596, 1143566 and by

• Six-week summer preparation for 100 high school teachers who then teach BJC in their schools: http://bit.ly/BJC2014• Focus on underrepresented students.• Visual programming language allows technically rigorous course with high student retention.
