About this Learning Opportunity
This interactive workshop will equip you with practical strategies to seamlessly integrate computer science learning outcomes from the new K-6 Science curriculum, rather than teaching them as a separate entity. Computer science is so much more than just coding!
Discover how to:
? Spark Curiosity: Engage young learners with hands-on activities that introduce
fundamental concepts like design, sequencing, debugging, and problem-solving.
? Build Essential Skills: Develop critical thinking, logical reasoning, and creativity
through coding and computational thinking exercises.
? Connect Across Curricula: Integrate computer science into Science, Math, Language
Arts, and other subject areas to enhance learning and deepen understanding.
? Leverage Technology: Explore a variety of tools and resources, including block-based
coding platforms, to support diverse learning styles and abilities.
? Inspire Future Innovators: Foster a growth mindset and encourage students to
become problem-solvers, designers, and creators.
Join us for a fun and informative session that will empower you to inspire the next generation of digital citizens. No prior coding experience is required!
