Computer Science 0 courses typically help students learn about computing and computer science, but not programming (as in Computer Science 1). AP CS Principles is an Advanced Placement (AP) course to broaden participation and focus more broadly on CS concepts rather than just programming. CS 0 courses vary widely, so it might also be useful to consider activities designed for Computer Science 1.

The POGIL Project - CS Principles

During Summer 2014, a team (listed below) developed POGIL materials for CS Principles, with support from The POGIL Project. During AY 2014-15 and 2015-16, these materials were piloted in high school CS classrooms, with support from Google CS4HS.

Helen Hu - CS Principles

Helen Hu has a set of POGIL activities for CS Principles. They were designed, tested, and refined for a college level course, supported by AAC&U Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM (TIDES). The programming is done in AppInventor, but some of the POGIL activities are language independent.
