Amazon will now begin offering comprehensive support and new online learning resources for high school students in preparation for at-home AP Computer Science exams.
Amazon is committed to supporting high school computer science students in need across the country as part of its Amazon Future Engineer program. In response to COVID-19, they are immediately making the following free resources available:
Free Online Computer Science Courses:
Amazon Future Engineer is opening up free online access for all to our sponsored Edhesive curriculum for both AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A courses. Students, parents, and teachers can access these courses here.
Laptop Donation:
Amazon is donating 4,000 laptops to AP computer science students who otherwise do not have access to a device at home to take the exams. Students receiving laptops will get to keep them to support their educational journey beyond the COVID-19 outbreak. Students without a laptop at home can apply through College Board.
Free Online Test Prep:
Nonprofit CodeVA, with the support of Amazon Future Engineer, will begin offering free, online AP Computer Science test prep sessions leading up to the AP exams open to all preparing. Students can participate in the twice-weekly prep sessions here.
