October AP CSA Newsletter- Deadlines, AP Events, and more! 💻

For the 2024–2025 school year, CodeHS is hitting the road again to visit K-12 computer science classrooms across the United States. Whether you’re in a bustling city or a quiet rural town, we’re excited to make computer science accessible and fun for students, everywhere. You can now request a visit from CodeHS!

This month's featured project is 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.

Just a quick reminder that the student registration deadline for full-year students is November 15th. While students can still register after that date, a late fee of $40 will apply. Make sure you are encouraging students to register today!
