4. What is AP® Computer Science Principles (AP CSP)?
Did you know that of the more than 9 million STEM jobs available in the next decade, half will require computing experience?
AP CSP, prepares you by:
Introducing you to the essential ideas of computer science.
Challenging you to explore how computing and technology impact the world around you.
Providing a foundation of knowledge that can be applied across disciplines, no matter what your major or career focus- from STEM fields to music and the arts. Chances are, no matter what field you’re interested in, computers play a role.

5. What makes AP® CSP special?
Creatively address world issues and concerns
Use the same processes and tools as artists, musicians, engineers, computer scientists and others to bring ideas to life
Conceptualize and build digital projects, such as videos or mobile apps, that have practical, real-world use
Learn how to identify threats to cybersecurity and ways to use the internet to address such concerns
“AP Computer Science Principles opened my mind to just about everything. I learned that computer science and programming is not just for some people — it’s for anybody.” — Mikiyah Smith, Sophomore
