1. CS Educators Summit Jenna Garcia District Manager jenna@code.org May 4, 2016

2. Mini Introductions  About Jenna  About You

3. Our Mission: every school every student opportunity

4. Through CS, students learn:  Mathematical and computational ideas  Strategies for solving problems  Effective ways to communicate  How to collaborate with others Through CS, students are becoming:  Creators  Innovators  Persistent problem solvers  Active participants in society

5. A Few More Considerations Related to CS

6. Debunking Computer Science Myths  Our kids should be learning to code. computer science  Computer Science education is on the rise. recovery from a 10-year decline.

7. Debunking Computer Science Myths  Computer science is about technology. logic, problem solving, and creativity  Computer science is for boys. everybody

8. Technology affects every field:

9. Just like they learn about the digestive system, photosynthesis, or electricity. Every 21 st century student should have a chance to learn about algorithms, how to make apps, or how the internet works.

10. Debunking Computer Science Myths Every  The tech industry is desperately trying to hire computer programmers.

13. The Picture in Wisconsin

14. Debunking Computer Science Myths  Computer Science is vocational. foundational AUDIENCE POP QUIZ 1.What is photosynthesis? 2.What is H 2 O? 3.Solve: x 2 – 9 = 0 4.What is a for loop?

15. Why CS in K-8?  Early exposure to determine if a student likes it  Helps build skills important for other subjects  Builds a foundation to grow from  Prepares students for the future (life in general & career)

16. Dispelling myths about STEM  There is a surplus of jobs in STEM computer science

17. Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Center for Education Statistics 71% of all new jobs in STEM are in computing 8% of STEM graduates are in computer science The STEM problem is in computer science

18. Code.org’s Curriculum

19. What are our courses about?  Hour of Code  K-5:  CS Fundamentals (K5)  Middle School:  CS Discoveries (new in spring of 2017)

20. Hour of Code  Nice, easy “get your feet wet” activity for your classroom, school or district  Helps teachers feel prepared and confident to teach CS  An introduction to CS for students

21. CS Fundamentals
