Event Overview

Google Fiber Space in Austin will host this FREE Code.org coding workshop for K-8 educators. It is critical for students to gain a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) foundation prior to middle and high school. This exciting, extended workshop will help you learn how you can introduce students in kindergarten through eighth grade to computer science basics using Code.org, and connections to the math and science TEKS will be explored. Each attendee will receive FREE CPEs and the supplies they need to teach the curriculum to their students. You’ll enjoy this hands-on workshop as you increase your knowledge and confidence, as well as connecting with other educators in your area who are working to bring computer science to their schools.
