AP CSP Explore Performance Task Guide

Description

The AP CSP Explore Performance Task requires students to examine the societal impact of a computing innovation. Students must submit two items: a computational artifact that visually or audibly explains the innovation's purpose or function, and written responses to prompts detailing their research on the chosen innovation, including its beneficial and harmful effects on society. The task emphasizes the importance of original creation in the artifact, appropriate sourcing for the written responses, and strict adherence to guidelines regarding format and citation. It serves as a critical component in assessing students' understanding of the role of computing in contemporary society.
