“This course has been one of the most transformative professional development experiences I have ever had. I now see how computer science can be used to develop skills like problem solving and collaboration in all students, as well as a vehicle for kids to access future career opportunities.”
“Code.org’s CS Discoveries summer professional development is everything that professional development should be: engaging, collaborative, practical and fun.”
“Whether or not you have computer science experience or not, you can make a difference for your students. Code.org's Computer Science professional development will provide you with all the tools and knowledge to create a classroom community that will thoroughly enjoy learning essential CS skills. All children deserve a quality CS experience.”
“This course was so informative. I not only learned about the Code.org curriculum, I also learned ways to adjust my practice to foster community and student engagement in my classroom.”
“I went from a person who knew nothing about computer programming to a person who can be a lead learner! Extremely supportive learning environment.”
“Computer Science Discoveries has been one of the most intellectually and professionally stimulating experiences of my life. I am looking forward to diving into the ‘lead learner’ of computer science role at my school!”
“This was incredible. I came in feeling anxious about teaching CS for the first time, and I'm leaving feeling confident that I can do this. All the information and strategies will help so much. It was fun and informative.”
