Next meeting: Sat, 1/11 : APCS A Labs

Lab materials

• Topic: APCS A Labs hosted by Hélène Martin
• Date: Saturday, January 11, 2014, 10 am - 12 noon followed by socializing and networking 12 − 1 pm
• Place: UW, Paul Allen Center for CSE, room 203 (Directions & Parking)

Starting in the 2014-2015 school year, AP CS A will no longer include a case study such as Gridworld.  Instead, teachers will be responsible for including a significant lab component in their courses but students will not be tested on their knowledge of specific pieces of code.  The College Board is in the process of developing three sample labs.

Join us to discuss the implications of the lab requirement, to look over the provided samples and to try some of the suggested exercises for yourself.

We will be meeting in room 203 on the 2nd floor.

Two clock hours will be provided for the workshop portion.
