Sprint1

Java Onboarding

In this Sprint, students will become familiar with Java types, booleans, iteration, recursion, using, and writing objects. Student teaching labs will introduce AP-required aspects of Java while learning the Spring Framework. This will teach key Java concepts while learning JWT login system, a Rest Controller, Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), Object Relational Model (ORM), and Java Persistence API (JPA).

Sprint3

Team Project for N@tM

In this Sprint, students will continue to become familiar with Java development as they immerse themselves in Web Development using the Spring Framework. Coding will focus on RESTful APIs, receiving requests, working with data using SQLite, and responding to requests. Students will pick a Full Stack Web Development project, and work in teams to build it out, including all layers, and how to use ThymeLeaf to create an Admin UI. The goal is to have the project working and deployed on AWS by the end of this Sprint.

Sprint4

Integration, Fontend, MVC Layers, and FRQs

Trimester 2 begins with four weeks of Integration and FRQs. At the center of work is the College Board FRQs and Frontend/Backend and MVC layers. Consider a Mini-project that Integrates Trimister 1 work with another team, adds an FRQ, and performs Unit 10 Sorting and Analysis. For each peace, provide JavaScript Visualization; ThymeLeaf administration, Backend Java Sorting, Inheritance, and Polymorphic behavior. Also, teach the College Board FRQ topic to the class. Ideas spans at least two teams or eight students.

Sprint5

AP Java FRQ Topics & OCS Platform Enhancement

In this Sprint, students will master AP CSA Java requirements by teaching a selected topic to their peers and building or improving features on the Open Coding Society (OCS) platform. Required topics include Methods & Control Structures, Arrays, ArrayLists, Classes, 2D Arrays, Searching, and Sorting. Each student will deliver a lesson on their chosen topic, complete coding hacks from other groups' topics, and contribute to OCS features for student tracking and feedback. Teaching and platform work are integrated, with all students demonstrating mastery through both instruction and hands-on development.

Sprint6

OCS Enhancement & N@tM Feedback

In this Sprint, students may choose to continue enhancing the OCS platform or propose and prototype a new project based on their interests and skills. The focus is on creativity, design, and technical growth—whether through OCS development or a new passion project. Students should document their design process, make technical decisions, and present their work for peer and instructor feedback. Consider frontend design, database modeling, API plans, JWT designs, big data solutions, and future usefulness. Weekly live reviews and feedback will support project evolution.
