Curriculum Overview
A NYS Computing Standard-Aligned Introductory High School Computing Curriculum in the Python version of Processing.
🚧 🚜 CURRICULUM EXTRAS RESOURCES BEING ADDED 🚜 🚧
This curriculum is Version 2.0 of our original ICM curriculum using the Python version of Processing. It moves a little quicker (in a different language!) and aims to hit all standards from the Computational Thinking category of the NYS Computing Standards. Looking for ICM Version 2.0 in p5.js?
This curriculum was built on the foundation of ICM Version 1.0. Version 1.0 was developed by the NYCDOE CS4All academics team (José Olivares, EJ Park) with lead writer Luisa Pereira. Additional contributors to the curriculum include Courtney Morgan 🙆♀️ & José Orea (teacher implementation guide and additional activities), Esther Hersh, and the Processing Foundation. Curricular reorganization, rewrites, and extras were developed by Courtney Morgan.
ICM Version 2.0 [PY] was planned, adapted, and developed by Courtney Morgan.

AP CSP and ICM
While this is an introductory computer science course, it can serve as a terrific AP Computer Science Principles Prep course. The guides below were developed based on Curriculum Version 1.0 [JS], but you can still use the guides below to assist if you are a teacher whose students will eventually take AP CSP, or who is just looking to broaden the content covered within this course:
AP CSP/ICM Companion Guide (DRAFT - needs 2.0 updates!)
Social Implications of Computing Companion Guide (DRAFT - needs 2.0 updates)
Class Resource Examples
Based on materials for ICM V. 1.0 [JS]
Sample Introductory Survey (Courtney Morgan)
Sample Quiz (Courtney Morgan)
Sample Rubric (Courtney Morgan)
Instructional Videos
Python-specific resources coming soon - the following all refer to the V. 1.0 JavaScript version of this course.
Computer Science with Ms. Morgan - most of Version 1.0 ICM curriculum presented as YouTube videos, modified for and filmed during pandemic remote learning.
The Coding Train - The coding train is an amazing resource for p5 instructional videos. Dan Shiffman is amazing and you can learn anything from his channel.
Additional Tools
Codepen: A front end web editor with cool examples (although mostly not p5)
Repl.it: An online web editor for any language with classroom tools
