AP Computer Science Principles is an introductory college-level computing course. Students cultivate their understanding of computer science through working with data, collaborating to solve problems, and developing computer programs as they explore concepts like creativity, abstraction, data and information, algorithms, programming, the internet, and the global impact of computing.
Based on the Understanding by Design® (Wiggins and McTighe) model, the AP Computer Science Principles curriculum framework provides a clear and detailed description of the course requirements necessary for student success. The course is designed to be equivalent to a first-semester introductory college computing course. The major areas of study in the course are organized around big ideas that encompass ideas foundational to studying computer science.
The AP Computer Science Principles framework is organized into seven big ideas. As always, you have the flexibility to organize the course content as you like.
