In coordination with new resources for teachers across AP subjects, the College Board is releasing new labs to accompany the new curriculum framework for AP Computer Science A. These labs focus on real-world applications of computer science and incorporating student choice into programming projects. This session will review the content and alignment of each lab, including best practices for incorporating labs into the classroom. In addition, participants will brainstorm modifications and extensions to the provided activities, and create a plan for incorporating the labs, whether they follow the newly created unit guides or maintain their existing course structure and pacing.
