About
Get a head start on AP Biology with this summer prep bootcamp! We'll cover all 8 units of the curriculum, and focus on topics that seem to trip up students every year. Each session will include small lectures, helpful tips, and AP-style practice questions. No prior AP Bio experience is needed, just basic high school biology knowledge as well as a notebook, a pencil, and a laptop. Excited to learn with you guys!
