AP Computer Science Summer Institute - June 23-28, 2013
Western Kentucky University  --  Bowling Green, Kentucky

 
  Focus on the essential elements to starting and maintaining a successful Computer Science Program. Learn ways to motivate students to participate and learn the content using tools like Scratch, Alice, and Jeroo. This hands-on institute will build from the basic Computer Science skills with more time spent on the explanation and elaboration of topics. Advanced Placement* Computer Science topics such as Looping, Decision-Making, List Processing, String Manipulation, Inheritance, and Algorithmic Development will be covered. The GridWorld Case Study will be demonstrated as a tool to enhance the teaching of all AP* Computer Science topics and will serve as a platform for game creation.
