AP Computer Science Principles Course Content
The following are the major areas of study, or big ideas, that serve as
the foundation of the course, enabling students to create meaningful
connections among concepts and develop deeper conceptual
understanding:
■ Creative Development: When developing computing
innovations, developers can use a formal, iterative design
process or a less rigid process of experimentation, and will
encounter phases of investigating and reflecting, designing,
prototyping, and testing. Collaboration is an important tool at any
phase of development.
■ Data: Data are central to computing innovations because they
communicate initial conditions to programs and represent new
knowledge.
■ Algorithms and Programming: Programmers integrate
algorithms and abstraction to create programs for creative
purposes and to solve problems.
■ Computing Systems and Networks: Computer systems and
networks are used to transfer data.
■ Impact of Computing: Computers and computing have
revolutionized our lives. To use computing safely and responsibly,
we need to be aware of privacy, security, and ethical issues.
