What will I do in the AP Computer Science Principles class?

In this course, you will learn the computing skills needed to collaborate with peers to create projects you're passionate about—from simple games and apps to programs that can analyze large data sets or inspire the creation of visual art and music. You'll be able to use your creativity to develop these projects at several points during the course. Also, the AP CSP Exam will include a performance task, in addition to an end-of-course exam, that you’ll work on throughout the school year. The Create performance task will count toward your AP score—so you’ll be able to demonstrate what you’ve learned in multiple ways.
