AP Computer Science A

This is Tynker’s year-long curriculum designed to introduce students to the Java programming language and prepare them for the AP CS A Exam.

AP Computer Science A (2025)

This is Tynker’s year-long curriculum designed to introduce students to the Java programming language and prepare them for the AP CS A Exam. AP Computer Science A is an introductory college-level curriculum taught in Java, a programming language for professional programmers. We recommend that any academically prepared student take this introductory programming course. The only prerequisite is Algebra 1. Tynker is recognized by the College Board as an endorsed provider of curriculum and professional development for AP ® Computer Science A (AP CSA). Using an Endorsed Provider affords schools access to resources including an AP CSA syllabus pre-approved by the College Board’s AP Course Audit, and officially recognized professional development that prepares teachers to teach AP CSA. This endorsement affirms only that components of Tynker’s offerings are aligned to all the AP Curriculum Framework standards and the AP CSA assessment. Our curriculum emphasizes problem-solving using an object-oriented methodology. Students will learn the Java programming language, study data structures, analyze algorithms, and get a deep understanding of object-oriented programming. With over 100 hours of instruction, it’s designed to be taught daily as a year-long class. The curriculum is entirely web-based, so there’s no additional software to download or install. Each interactive lesson practices hands-on coding, while students learn to design and build and debug Java programs to solve real world problems. Lessons also include free response practice questions and multiple-choice quizzes to help prepare for the AP exam. In AP Computer Science A, students will explore the following big ideas in computer science: BIG IDEA 1: MODULARITY (MOD) Incorporating elements of abstraction, by breaking problems down into interacting pieces, each with their own purpose, makes writing complex programs easier. Abstracting simplifies concepts and processes by looking at the big picture rather than being overwhelmed by the details. Modularity in object-oriented programming allows us to use abstraction to break complex programs down into individual classes and methods. BIG IDEA 2: VARIABLES (VAR) Information used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation is referred to as data. Programs rely on variables to store data, on data structures to organize multiple values when program complexity increases, and on algorithms to sort, access, and manipulate this data. Variables create data abstractions, as they can represent a set of possible values or a group of related values. BIG IDEA 3: CONTROL (CON) Doing things in order, making decisions, and doing the same process multiple times are represented in code by using control structures and specifying the order in which instructions are executed. Programmers need to think algorithmically in order to define and interpret processes that are used in a program. BIG IDEA 4: IMPACT OF COMPUTING (IOC) Computers and computing have revolutionized our lives. To use computing safely and responsibly, we need to be aware of privacy, security, and ethical issues. As programmers, we need to understand how our programs will be used and be responsible for the consequences. Students will gain foundational computational thinking skills, including: Program Design and Algorithm Development: Determine required code segments to produce a given output. Code Logic: Determine the output, value, or result of given program code given initial values. Code Implementation: Write and implement program code. Code Testing: Analyze program code for correctness, equivalence, and errors. Documentation: Describe the behavior and conditions that produce identified results in a program. Course Materials and Requirements: This course require a modern desktop computer, laptop computer, Chromebook, or Netbook with Internet access and a Chrome (29+), Firefox (30+), Safari (7+), or Edge (20+) browser. No downloads required. Topics Covered: Java syntax, variables, data types, math operators, boolean logic, branching, while loops, strings, functions, arrays, array lists, 2D arrays, class, inheritance, recursion, searching and sorting algorithms.

Using built-in micro:bit sensors, buttons, and the 5X5 LED display, campers build animated LED emojis, real-world temperature sensors, pedometers, multiplayer games, and even a two-way Morse code radio. The course includes 16 hands-on projects with step-by-step instructions. It is delivered in an interactive notebook-style lesson format so that campers can learn new concepts, write programs, and deploy code to the micro:bit right from the lesson interface. There is nothing to download or install on your computer. In addition, campers can also launch Tynker Code Editor and write their own programs from scratch. The lesson plans in this course build and reinforce STEM skills, problem solving, debugging, and collaboration skills as campers bridge digital and physical learning. Students wiil apply abstract programming concepts to create tangible hands-on micro:bit-based inventions. Each lesson is designed for a class period of 45-60 minutes. All campers work is automatically tracked and assessed, and you'll be able to monitor individual progress and mastery charts for your campers. This course is recommended for advanced campers who are already familiar with Python. Beginner campers may enroll in micro:Bit 101 where they use Tynker Blocks to program micro:bit. This course is supported online and not supported on iPad. Recommended Accessories: This course requires micro:bit devices (not included). You may purchase these separately at a variety of resellers. Each lesson has a detailed Parts List. micro:bit, USB cable, Battery pack, 2xAAA batteries (for each camper or group) Accessories: Lessons 13, 14 require a Piezo speaker and Alligator clips Lessons 15,16 require two or more micro:bits Optional: microBit Inventor’s Kit: Classroom Pack (includes accessories required for all lessons) While most lessons need a single micro:bit, it is encouraged that campers improvise to create inventions that incorporate external cables, LEDs, speakers, aluminum foil, and other accessories, when available. See the this section on the micro:bit foundation for more ideas! Topics Covered: micro:bit Python commands, 2-way radio communication, deploying code to the micro:bit, light and temperature sensing, reading sensor values, gestures and motion detection, Programming the LED grid, multiplayer game development
