Are you interested in bringing computer science and computational thinking to the elementary classroom?
Launch_K5 CS is a highly interactive 3-day hybrid workshop designed for K-5 educators and:
- aligns to the new Tech Apps TEKS required to be implemented by the 24-25 school year
- integrates computational thinking, computer science, cybersecurity, and AI into core curricula
- provides K-5 lessons (unplugged and plugged) for teachers to take back to their classrooms
- introduces block-based coding and physical computing to scaffold learning with students
FOR THIS SESSION TEACHERS:
- Must be grades K-5 Classroom Teachers, STEM teachers, GT Teachers or Librarians at elementary campuses.
- Receive a 3-day hybrid training (2-days in person, 1-day asynchronous learning) at no cost to attend
- Receive resources and materials for your classroom to begin your launch into CS following successful completion of the program!
- Must work at a Texas school that serves K-5 students
- Will receive hands-on computing equipment after finishing all three days of training.
- Participants complete the third day on their own.
This is a hands-on session. All participants are required to bring a teacher laptop or Chromebook with power cord and a working Google or Microsoft login (either school or personal). If you have a headset with microphone, please bring that with you to the session.
This session is underwritten by a grant from the WeTeach_CS program.
