This end-of-unit assessment project is the perfect way to wrap up Unit 1: Java Fundamentals & Program Structure in any high school Computer Science A (CSA) course. Students apply everything they’ve learned—file structure, the main() method, variables and data types, operators, input/output, and debugging—by building their own interactive Java console program from scratch.

Students choose from guided project ideas (calculator, grade predictor, travel estimator, character stats generator) or propose their own creative concept. The project includes a student-friendly worksheet, clear requirements checklist, and space to plan their program. A full Teacher Version is included with notes, an example template, and a detailed rubric to make grading simple and consistent.

This project helps students demonstrate mastery of:

• Java file structure
  
• System.out.println() and commenting
  
• Primitive data types & variable initialization
  
• Arithmetic operators and expressions
  
• User input using the Scanner class
  
• Debugging strategies (syntax, runtime, and logic errors)
  

Perfect for:
✔️ End-of-unit assessment
✔️ Project-based learning
✔️ CSA-style exams
✔️ Intro to Java units
✔️ Sub plans for advanced classes
