Getting Started The first ~3 weeks of this course we are going to learn the fundamentals of computer science using the CS Fundamentals curriculum from Code.org. And why is studying computer science important to our country? One good reason is this is where the jobs are. Here are [CLICK] national projections on STEM jobs in our country from the Bureau of Labor Statistics This graph shows that out of all the NEW “STEM” jobs in our economy, more than 60% will be in computing related occupations

every student Our Vision: opportunity every school Every school should teach, every student should have basic exposure We don’t look at job data when teach about photosynthesis, H20, or how electricity works In a 21st century surrounded, every child needs CS basics opportunity

Who is Code.org? A public 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to bringing computer science to every school, and increasing participation by by women and underrepresented students of color. Producer of online courses The computer science PD partner for 30 of the largest districts nationwide, including NYC, LA, and Chicago The organizer of the Hour of Code campaign

CS Fundamentals: CS in grades K-5 Short 20-hour courses for elementary school Free, open-source, online “games” Lectures by Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Bosh, Bill Gates, etc Aligned to reinforce Math, Science, ELA standards Any district, school, or teacher can participate Code.org is offering courses for grades K-5. Emphasize the importance of starting young.

4 courses Course 1: for early readers, ages 4-6. (Grades K-1) Course 2: for beginners, ages 6+ (Grades 2-5) Course 3: for ages 6+ (Kids who have completed course 2) Course 4: for ages 6+ (Kids who have completed course 3) Each course is ~20 lessons, ~40 minutes each Blend of online tutorials with “unplugged” activities that teach computing concepts without a computer Designed for all ages. Reinforce math, science, English standards in elementary school.

Demand for stand alone CS course in the MS Requests for our high school intro course to leverage the teaching tools found in CSP Lots of requests for something to follow CSF with Set out to build a course that still accommodates various implementations Semester Year Late middle school Early high school This course will live in parallel with CS in A and CS in S When this course launches in the ‘17-’18 school year, that will coincide with us not offering ECS to new school partners, with implementation spanning across late middle school to early high school Notes CS in Algebra All courses are intended to be entry points to the pathway (exception: Courses 3 and 4 in CS Fundamentals recommend completion of Course 2) Actual implementation may vary Courses 2 – 4 in CS Fundamentals are often used by older students CS Discoveries Exploring Computer Science Computer Science Principles @TeachCode | #LeadCode | #CSforAll
