Free, Modern, Project-Based
Starting with the 2016-17 school year, College Board officially launched a new Advanced Placement course, AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP). This course is project-based, exploratory, and allows the teacher to choose the language and tools they prefer. We designed a curriculum for teachers which meets the requirements for AP CSP using tools, languages, and instruction pulled straight from industry leaders in Silicon Valley.
Make School has a strong track record of curriculum creation and has shown phenomenal results teaching mobile development to middle-school and high-school students at our Make School Summer Academy. Our iOS curriculum is used by MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, and UC Berkeley. Alumni of the Make School Summer Academy have collectively published over 1,000 apps to the iOS App Store, and several students have been invited to the White House to present apps they created at our Summer Academy for the last 3 years in a row.
Our curriculum, Swift CSP, is a free curriculum framework for teachers with a strong focus on Project-Based Learning. This course utilizes Apple’s new programming language, Swift, along with interactive playground environments to help students grasp the fundamentals of programming. By the end of the course, students will have built and shipped their own iPhone app.
