Computer Science

Computer science is a course taught by Ms. Taricco, in which we explore Java and object-oriented programming aligned with the AP Computer Science A curriculum. We practice through exercises, and for students who have learned Java previously, we complete our own Independent CS Project.

Independent CS Project

As a student who has already learned Java, I was able to work on a project with my friend for the first half of the year. We designed a Progressive Web App (PWA) with JavaScript for carpooling purposes. It takes in the user's start and end location, and using our Firebase database as well as map application programming interfaces (APIs), we are able to match them to other users who are close by.
