Engaging Local Partners in CS Ed Week 5:50-6:00

Tips for Hour of Code Events (and AspireIT apps) 1. Go Unplugged! CS Ed Week doesn’t have to be dominated by technology. 2. You don’t have to have the technical know-how to be able to execute. If you can provide logistical support and students, you can find a partner to support you on the technical side. 3. Build a framework, then flesh out the details. Get started earlier to provide more time to flesh out details with a partner. The more you wait, the more your students will too! 5:50-6:00 Learn more about AspireIT here: https://www.ncwit.org/project/aspireit-k-12-outreach-program 4.
