AP 컴퓨터 과학 원리

This course introduces students to the core principles of computer science through real-world programming and problem-solving using Python. Designed to meet the requirements of the College Board’s AP Computer Science Principles curriculum, the class blends theory and practice in a highly interactive, project-based format. Students will explore topics like how data is represented in binary, how the internet functions, and how algorithms are designed. They will write Python code from the ground up, building their skills with inputs, conditionals, loops, lists, and functions. Alongside technical instruction, the course also delves into cybersecurity, ethical computing, and the social impact of technology.

Each lesson includes guided demonstrations, hands-on labs, and collaborative challenges to solidify understanding. In the final part of the course, students will plan and develop their official AP Create Performance Task project, receiving feedback along the way. The class wraps up with a thorough review to build confidence before the exam. Whether a student is new to coding or already curious about tech, this course provides a supportive environment to grow as a computational thinker and problem-solver.
