STEM: AP Computer Science A Bootcamp (Rising 11th & 12th Graders and APCSA Students)

The goal of the AP Computer Science A Bootcamp is to help students prepare for and gain exposure to topics covered in AP Computer Science A. Students taking AP Computer Science A at MICDS expressed that a foundational course would have been beneficial. This course is designed for students who have minimal previous coding experience and will be focused on introducing students to writing and analyzing code, thinking algorithmically, iterative development and debugging, and programming ethics. Students will come into the school year familiar with topics from the first units of the semester and with their programming environments set up and ready to go.
