Description
Learn Java AWT graphics and drawing techniques to build interactive GUIs, custom shapes, animations, and dynamic forms. Perfect for high school computer science teachers seeking hands-on Java programming lessons focused on visual programming and user interface design.
This lesson covers Java Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), essential for creating graphics and enhancing Java applications with custom visuals and interactive elements.
Designed as part of a second-semester extension, these lessons introduce higher-level Java programming concepts including event-driven graphics, image manipulation, and animation. Ideal for educators who want to engage students with practical projects in Java GUI development and game creation.
Created by an experienced instructor with nearly 20 years teaching AP CSP, AP CSA, and Data Structures, this resource blends foundational programming with creative, fun projects that keep students motivated and coding confidently.
These lessons are meant to be done over a few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.
Topics:
Programming in Java 14 awt Drawing
Intro to the drawing surface
Drawing images and shapes to the world
repaint()
Adding JSwing components
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow
an editable Power Point version of the slideshow
a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors
an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!
an answer key in pdf form
an answer key in .java form.
Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.
Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.
Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!
