Welcome!
(From Mobile Computer Science Principles (Mobile CSP) )Mobile computing is an emerging field that focuses on mobile devices, such as tablets and smart phones. In this course we will use the mobile programming language, App Inventor, to program our Android tablets and smart phones. You will learn how to design and build mobile apps -- apps that are aware of their location, apps that send and receive text messages, apps that give advice and directions. We'll learn about the potential and the limitations of computing and coding. We'll learn how to manipulate large data sets and about the importance of data in today's computing environment. We'll learn how the Internet works and how encryption is used to protect our Internet transactions. We'll learn about the positive and negative aspects of computing in today's society. And lots more.
For these broader computing concepts we will work within the College Board's curricular framework known as Computer Science Principles (CSP). This framework was developed by leading computer science educators from around the country with guidance from the College Board and with funding support from the National Science Foundation. The first AP CSP exam will be offered May 5th, 2017.
