AP Computer Science Principles Group Course First Semester
A broad introduction to how computing shapes the world — data, the internet, algorithms, cybersecurity, and the social impact of technology. Far less code than CS A. Ideal for any student who will live and work in a digital world, regardless of their intended major. A gateway course, not a specialisation.
Where It Leads
- ✦ Digital Literacy for Any Major
- ✦ Business
- ✦ Design
- ✦ Sciences
- ✦ Gateway to CS
