Dear Educator,


With the help of Code.org, I am providing no-cost one-day workshops for elementary school teachers interested in teaching computer science. No prior computer science knowledge is necessary.  If you’ve already attended a workshop, please forward this message on to those who may be interested.


What’s in a workshop?

In-person instruction including an intro to computer science,  pedagogy, overview of the online curriculum, teacher dashboard, and strategies for teaching “unplugged” classroom activities.


Feedback from past workshop participants:

“So excited after leaving this workshop. I can hardly wait to show my students next week.”


“This was great. In terms of raising my level of excitement it would be hard as I am very excited. But the material and training were great and would recommend to anyone.”


“I loved the workshop and I would recommend this workshop to other computer science teachers and teachers in general. Great workshop, Roxanne Bowens was a wonderful teacher.”


“I LOVED LOVED LOVED this workshop! I am excited to begin implementing this in my classroom. Code.org is an AMAZING resource and I will gladly spread the word so that more educators get involved. Thank you, thank you! What a great way to spend a Saturday!”


All costs are covered by Code.org

There is no charge for these workshops and attending teachers will also receive:

  • Printed curriculum guide

  • Classroom supplies for the unplugged lessons

  • Certificate of completion

  • Fun Code.org swag
