The teacher will choose one of these class projects. It depends on available resources and class time left after the AP exam. This all changes with the advent of show days and other days taken away from direct instruction.
Final Project - GlowScript/VPython (TBA)
Final Project - option #2 Air Pressure Powered Paper Rockets |
