In Mrs. Taricco’s Advanced Computer Science class, students learn programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and Java. The course uses projects to apply these skills in meaningful ways, and this website is one example of that work. Later in the year, students collaborate in groups on their Apps for Good projects. The class also competes in the American Computer Science League competition. Beyond coding, the course emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving. Below are some other fun labs and exercises from our coding journey.
This lab asked us to create the illusion of curved lines using
only straight ones. This project required critical and and geometry
to complete. It was very fun!

To explore static arrays, we were tasked with create
random-sized stars at random spots on the screen. I chose to also
have a random number of random colored stars.
