Your October AP CSP Newsletter- Deadlines, Seasonal Projects, and more! 💻

Depending on your school year’s start date, you should now be moving past the Karel units and on to Units 3 and 4. As a reminder, you can find an estimate for how long each unit should take in our course syllabus.

Keep in mind that these are only estimates and some classes will move a little faster or slower through some of the units. If you are finding yourself running a little behind, consider skipping one or more of the practice Performance Tasks in Unit 2.

While no urgent deadlines are looming, it is a good time to start getting things moving with the College Board!

The student registration timeline is similar to last year. To avoid late registration fees, students need to register to take the exam by Friday, November 15th.

You can sign up for AP Classroom and access AP tools and resources here.

The project catalog is a curated list of projects ranging from beginner-level, which may take an hour or less for students to complete to more challenging projects that could take several weeks. We have many projects your students will find exciting for the month of October including projects about Hispanic Heritage Month, Changing Leaves, and Halloween.

This is also a great place for students to get ideas and practice for the AP Exam Create Task!

Tutorials are a great way to brush up on a concept or fill in a gap for content that may not be taught in one of the main courses. Each tutorial offers instruction on a specific programming concept and typically takes between 10 - 30 minutes to work through.
