š CodeHS Road Trip
For the 2024ā2025 school year, CodeHS isĀ hitting the road againĀ to visit K-12 computer science classrooms across the United States. Whether youāre in a bustling city or a quiet rural town, weāre excited to make computer science accessible and fun for students, everywhere. You can nowĀ request a visitĀ from CodeHS!
š» AP CSA Project of the Month
This month's featured project isĀ The Monty Hall Simulator. In this project, students will recreate the classic paradox from Let's Make A Deal. They start off recreating the final pick-a-door option and then extend this with a simulator to simulate thousands of iterations as they examine this mathematical puzzle. Students will use loops and conditional statements to help solve this problem. This project should take students about 3 hours and includes autograders.

Have you subscribed to the AP CSA Question of the Day yet? CodeHS releases a new multiple-choice question each day that aligns with where you and your students are likely to be in the AP CSA course.
