| Publisher Description: Creating Future Creators is a book about computer science and entrepreneurship. It is written with the intention of spreading knowledge of computer science to those who have previously little to no experience while empowering its readers to spread that knowledge themselves. We define the word "entrepreneurship" not only in regards to the process of creating a business from an idea but mostly the building blocks to becoming a 21st-century innovator. AccelerateKID(R)'s mission has always centered on Youth, Entrepreneurship, and Technology Education (TechEd). This book will focus on all three parts of that goal in the context of a novel as well as a handbook with exercises that will help drive the concept for the readers. This book covers material on two separate AP (Advanced Placement) courses, at a middle school level. This means that this book can be used in both a Pre-AP class or as an introductory class for AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A (Java Programming Language). The beginning and end of Creating Future Creators follow the structure of the AP Computer Science Principles course, which goes over practices and concepts of computer science in a holistic way. The core of the book follows the material covered in AP Computer Science A, which focuses more on the technical skills and mechanics of programming in Java. By reading all of this book, you will become familiar with the contents of both of these courses, but if you wish to cover only one of the courses, you will find AP Computer Science Principles on general computing in chapters 1-6; while the book will close out with the use of the Internet and Global Impact in chapters 14 and 15 respectively. AP Computer Science A has its material covered in the rest of the book, chapters 7-13. For more information on the location of the book's contents, refer to the mind map. |
