AP Computer Science Principles - Midterm Pygame Project (Python)
This is my midterm project for AP Computer Science Principles. The students need to create their own game using Pygame and everything learned in class so far. I’ve included a starter Python code, and a code that the students and I developed in class that is the start of a Space Invaders clone. In this, and all labs posted on TPT, the questions are of my own making, and any similarity to codes/assignments/homework found anywhere else is by chance.

AP Computer Science Principles - Loops Lab (Python)
This lab covers while loops and for loops in Python. Lists are the next topic, so they are avoided in the context of loops here. Instead the focus is on combining loops, if statements, and functions to make a few complete codes. In this, and all labs posted on TPT, the questions are of my own making, and any similarity to codes/assignments/homework found anywhere else is by chance. Python code showing possible acceptable codes satisfying the program requirements is included. More notes about my

AP Computer Science Principles - Functions, Decisions, Loops Project (Python)
This project is meant to combine IO, functions, decision statement, and loops into a couple of major codes. The first requires the use of Pygame, while the second requires quite a bit of logic. I typically give the students a whole class week to work on these.

AP Computer Science Principles - Strings & Functions Lab (Python)
This particular assignment covers basics of strings and functions. Many of my students tend to struggle a bit with the concept of multiple input/outputs into Python functions (as well as Python scope) so I usually provide three in-class work days for this particular lab. There are four different problems the students need to write code to solve.

AP Computer Science Principles - Decisions Lab (Python)
This particular assignment covers decision statements (if, elif, else). There are four different problems the students need to write code to solve. Functions are also required for some of the problems. This is one of the first times students need to do some organized logical thinking, so I tend to give about 3 or 4 class days for this assignment.

AP Computer Science Principles - Lists Lab (Python)
This is the last “normal” lab I do in my AP Computer Science Principles class. The main goal of this lab is to get the students practical experience with lists. The secondary goal is to give them an example of a code that satisfies the requirements of the Create Task. There are just two problems in this lab, as the codes are significantly more complicated than earlier labs.

AP Computer Science Principles - Battleship Puzzle Project (Python)
This is the last project that I will do in AP Computer Science Principles, except on the rare occasion that we have more than one or two classes after AP exams are completed. This is meant to be a challenging puzzle and have functions that satisfy the requirements of the Create Task exam. I have students do practice questions from the AP based on this code (or the last Lists Lab codes). They obviously cannot use this for their Create Task code, but I feel like giving them additional examples of

AP Computer Science Principles - Pygame Lab (Python)
After strings, functions, IO, and decisions statements, I find my students need a little bit of a fun assignment, showing them some of the cooler aspects of what they can do with Python. I do this lab, on Pygame, after decision statement but before loops. It would work just as well right after loops, but I try to write the assignment so that loops aren’t “needed”. There are three different codes included. Two showing examples of working infinite runners (one a multi-lane up/down runner and the

Binary Code Worksheets with Facts to Decode - 4th 5th and 6th Grades
Have you taught your students binary code? Note: your answer - yes or no - is binary: a system where the units have only two possible values. However, most people associate binary code with the ones and zeros often used in computers. This resource includes secret codes that have messages that teach! Each 8 bit code represents an uppercase letter. The coded message can be cracked to reveal a fact about binary code (such as what is a "bit"?). There are 10 worksheets included, as well as answer ke

AP Computer Science A - Variables, I/O, and Assignment Lab (Java)
At the end of each chapter in AP Computer Science A (Java coding) I give my students a few in-class work days to create codes on their own to demonstrate their understanding. This particular assignment covers basics of input/output, variables, and basic mathematics operators. As there is little logic involved at the point in the course, I usually give just two in-class work days for this assignment. There are only three problems. Note that, as per 2025-2026 updates to AP CS A, input is now inclu
