AP® Computer Science Principles

Data plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of modern life. Whether choosing a favorite music playlist or using a navigation app, decisions often

Data is everywhere—on phones, in classrooms, and across the internet. However, collecting random numbers or text doesn’t immediately provide insights. Therefore, computer scientists rely on

Data compression reduces the size of files for storage or transmission without always sacrificing important information. In an era with massive amounts of data shared

Computers use a special language behind the scenes, and it all starts with binary numbers. These numbers are the foundation of how devices store, process,

Errors in programming are like hidden cracks in a foundation: they can cause unexpected crashes, incorrect results, or even complete system failures. Therefore, knowing how

Program design and development are at the heart of every successful software project. Therefore, it is vital to understand how to plan, build, and improve

Computing innovations have drastically changed everyday life. They make it possible to solve problems or explore personal interests more creatively. In AP® Computer Science, it

Computing innovations shape daily life, whether sending text messages or using a navigation app. These innovations are not created by a single mind in isolation.
