K-5 Computer Science Fundamentals!

Code.org CS Fundamentals is a series of courses designed for elementary students to learn computer science concepts.  Each course is age-appropriate and provides "unplugged" context-setting activities, online puzzles and open-ended projects.  This training will provide you with all you need to teach these courses in your school or classroom.  The workshop includes an intro to computer science and pedagogy, an overview of the online curriculum and teacher dashboard, strategies for teaching computer science concepts to elementary students, and a discussion on equity.  Many hands-on activities are included over the course of the day.  You will receive a printed curriculum guide and a bag of Code.org swag.  Lunch will be provided.
