The Create Performance Task (PT) is a component of the AP Computer Science Principles exam where students demonstrate their understanding of computational thinking and problem-solving skills by creating an original program or project.
Think of the Create PT as a final project for your computer science class. Just like how you showcase your knowledge and skills through a creative and unique project, the Create PT allows you to do the same but in the context of computer science.
Explore Performance Task (PT): The Explore PT is another component of the AP Computer Science Principles exam where students investigate a computing innovation and its impact on society.
Algorithms: Algorithms are step-by-step instructions or procedures that solve problems or perform tasks. They are like recipes that guide computers on what actions to take.
Abstraction: Abstraction is simplifying complex systems by focusing on essential details while hiding unnecessary complexities. It's like using emojis instead of writing out every single detail in a text message.
