Project-Based Java for Beginners (Pre AP Computer Science)

 An introduction to what Java is and what makes it a valuable skill to learn. We also go over  basic data types and classes.

Project 1 – Calculating percentages and Discounts
Utilize the introductory features of Java learned in the first lesson to create a small program that will calculate discount percentages. 

 Second lesson we will focus on creating objects and gain a deeper understanding of what a class is. We will also look at the String data type. 

Project 2 – Getting Input from the user
We will import the Scanner class and use Scanners built in methods to get data from users and output users data. 

 Students will now have a better understanding of classes and we can make use of Javas Dialog Boxes.

Project 3 – Input Dialog example and  Expanding on our Calculating percentage and Discounts projects 
Students should now use our pre existing project and implement a dialog box where they see fit. 

 We will now cover Javas control flow, If, if else, logical operators, scope. 

Project 4 – Average Score project: Students will now create a small program to calculate average test score using our Dialog boxes that we have learned and our control flow.
