Earning Criteria

• AP Computer Science Principles
• Completion of course with grade "C" or better.
• 95% or better course attendance rate.
• Passing with a minimum of 12 hrs of class time and completion and submission of a complete program code, a video that displays the running of the program and demonstrates functionality developed, and individual written responses to all prompts in the performance task.
• Creative Development-incorporating multiple perspectives through collaboration improve computing innovations as they are developed. Skills 1.C., 1.A., 4.A., 3.A., 1.B., 4.C., 6.A., 6.C
• Data-The way a computer represents data internally is different from the way the data are interpreted and displayed for the user. Programs are used to translate data into a representation more easily understood by people. Skills 3.C., 1.D., 2.B., 5.B., 5.D.
• Algorithms and Programming-To find specific solutions to generalizable problems, programmers represent and organize data in multiple ways. Skills 3.A., 4.B., 3.B., 3.C., 2.A., 2.B., 1.D., 1.A.
• Computing Systems and Networks -Computer systems and networks facilitate the transfer of data. Skills 5.A., 1.D.
• Impact of Computing-While computing innovations are typically designed to achieve a specific purpose, they may have unintended consequences. Skills 5.C., 5.E., 1.C., 5.D.
