Code.org CS Discoveries
Come discover the many ways Code.org’s free CS Discoveries curriculum can help your students grow as CS learners through a unique mix of problem solving, programming, physical computing, and user-centered design activities. Participants in this course will also learn how to spark interest in CS learning through the creation of websites, apps, animations, games, and physical computing systems.

Code.org CS Principles
Challenge your high school students to explore how computing and technology can impact the world, with a focus on the internet, cybersecurity, app design, and the complexities of digital information. Participants in this track will learn about the free curriculum, as well as how to integrate it into either an existing CS program or any core content area.

Code.org CSA
Take your high school students from theory to real-world application with this AP-aligned curriculum where students learn object-oriented programming using Java and act as software engineers. Participants in this track will also engage with intermediate CS topics including data structuring, processing data using algorithms, and computing’s ethical and social implications.

Code.org CS Fundamentals (June 23-24 ONLY)
CS Fundamentals is an introductory workshop designed for elementary educators new to teaching computer science who want to explore how to begin teaching Code.org's CS Fundamentals curriculum. Join your peers and experienced facilitators to get a hands-on intro to computer science, pedagogy, overviews of the online curriculum, and Code.org's teacher dashboard, as well as strategies for teaching “unplugged” classroom activities.

CS PD Week Elementary Explorations Track Have fun exploring robots, unplugged activities, and much more as you practice weaving computational thinking and interdisciplinary connections together with your core content area.

CS PD Week Middle/High School Explorations Track Learn to incorporate interdisciplinary connections, computational thinking, and a variety of fresh, engaging CS education activities into your grade 6-12 curriculum using robots, unplugged activities, and more.
