In this course, educators will be taught how to introduce students to software engineering and object-oriented design while learning the Java programming language. Educators will be trained to teach CSA as either an AP or non-AP class; regardless, either option requires a full year to teach (or 140+ course hours). The AP® Computer Science A curriculum teachers will be trained to use will empower them to teach students to use Java programming. Educators who are able to independently write and debug an error-free function (or procedure) with one or more parameters and that uses conditional logic, loops, and an array (or a list) will be best positioned to teach Code.org's CSA curriculum with students.
