Introducing the Java Projects Mini-Course for High School Computer Science

We're excited to unveil our new mini-course, "Java Projects". This course is structured to enhance students' understanding of Java through hands-on projects, making it an ideal supplement to the AP Computer Science A curriculum. Here's what the course offers:

Project Overview:

The Word Detective

This project is a fantastic entry point for students to grasp essential Java concepts such as using the Scanner class for input, leveraging Random for generating dynamic content, manipulating arrays, and implementing loops. Students will engage in creating a fun, interactive game that sharpens their programming skills and logical thinking.

The Mystic Quest

Dive deeper into the object-oriented nature of Java with Mystic Quest, a text-based RPG that introduces students to working with multiple classes. By developing classes such as Game, Character, and Enemy, students will gain a practical understanding of classes, objects, and the interactions between them. This project not only bolsters their coding skills but also enhances their problem-solving techniques in a creative and engaging environment.

The Elevens Game

Leveraging the framework of the classic AP CSA Lab, this project breaks down the complex concepts of polymorphism into manageable steps. Students will construct this card game piece by piece, culminating in a comprehensive understanding of advanced object-oriented programming principles in Java.

Teacher Resources

The course is ready-to-use with detailed project guides, and step-by-step instructions. Whether you're looking to introduce new concepts or reinforce existing knowledge, these projects provide a practical framework for learning and discussion. Strongly recommended for AP CSA students!
