Vivian Zhang developed interactive educational features and frontend enhancements for the CSA_Combined_Frontend_Fork repository over a three-month period. She delivered notebook-based AP Computer Science Principles lessons, integrated executable examples, and improved metadata for content governance. Vivian refactored data models, reorganized the codebase for scalability, and enhanced UI/UX with responsive design, animations, and audio integration. Using JavaScript, React, and Jupyter Notebook, she expanded quiz systems, added city and cultural lesson content, and resolved rendering and playback bugs. Her work enabled scalable lesson delivery, improved onboarding for instructors, and established maintainable frontend patterns, demonstrating depth in both content development and technical implementation.

September 2025 — CSA_Coders project: Four major notebook assets delivered in CSA_Combined_Frontend_Fork, enhancing AP CSP instruction, improving demonstrability, and tightening content governance. Key features delivered include: (1) AP CSP Big Idea 3.5: Boolean Expressions and Logic Notebook — updated/re-added with exercises, scenario-based problems, and AP-style coverage to scale classroom use; (2) AP CSP Big Idea 3: Comprehensive Lesson Notebook — full lesson file on problems, algorithms, and efficiency with interactive elements; (3) Snake Game Notebook with Concrete Examples — executable values for size, color, and win/lose messages to improve demos; (4) Notebook Metadata and Permalink Updates — improved author attribution and navigation for better attribution and content reuse. Impact and value: These assets strengthen teaching resources for AP CSP, enable faster iteration and onboarding for instructors, and improve content discoverability and attribution. The work supports larger class sizes and scalable lesson delivery while maintaining high-quality demonstrations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: notebook-based content authoring, interactive/experimental content, version-control hygiene, metadata management, and asset governance for reusable teaching materials.
