UTeach AP Computer Science A

Learning Community, Curriculum

In this rigorous, project-based curriculum, students deep-dive into programming concepts while collaborating to solve a series of socially relevant challenges.

Each unit introduces a unique, real-world problem following an overarching course narrative as students “travel the globe” in search of a missing scientist.

This curriculum immerses students in Java programming topics (e.g. abstraction, algorithms, data structures, object-oriented programming) and prepares students for advanced college coursework and potential career pathways in computer science.

As a College Board–endorsed curriculum, UTeach CS A fully aligns with both the spirit and letter of the College Board’s AP® Computer Science A Framework.

Included with each course license:
• Comprehensive, classroom-ready teacher materials
• Engaging student-facing curriculum
• Codio platform access, with student accounts
• Unlimited teacher support (on-demand video or email coaching, just-in-time support videos, and professional learning community)

"The scaffolding and descriptions of concepts are great. I also like the project-based approach so students can envision applying coding to solve real-world problems." —Thomas S.
