AP Computer Science AB Summer Institute - June 16-20
Region IV Service Center - Houston, TX

This Summer Institute will cover all AP Computer Science AB topics, including Sets, Maps, Iterators, Stacks, Queues, Linked Lists, and Binary Trees. I will also cover topics that are used in both A and AB, including ArrayList, Inheritance, Abstract Classes, Interfaces, Sorting, Searching, and the AP Computer Science GridWorld Case Study. The GridWorld Case Study works best when used throughout the year and this workshop will demonstrate ways to do that effectively. GridWorld can be used to enhance the teaching of AP CS topics and it can be used to effectively introduce certain topics. I will also provide ways to use GridWorld to engage AP AB students and get them creating projects using their own ideas and creativity. AP Computer Science A topics will also be covered and discussed, but AB topics will be the dominant focus.
