Program Information:
The Code.org Professional Learning Program is a yearlong commitment, consisting of a five-day virtual summer workshop from August 10th-August 15th, plus four one-day follow up academic year workshops hosted in-person or virtually.
There are two different cohorts to choose from. Computer Science Discoveries is an introductory computer science course for 6 - 10th grade students. Computer Science Principles is an introductory Advanced Placement course designed to broaden participation in computer science at the High School level.
