Our purpose is to help educators enter the world of coding in elementary. The idea of this workshop is to help teachers, regardless of prior experience in CS, jump right in and see how they can start making it a part of their classroom. In the workshop, participants will participate in entry level coding and computational thinking activities that they can learn and take right into the classroom to engage with students. They'll be introduced to coding concepts in a simple and learner focused approach to help participants learn the basics. Additionally, we'll discuss how they can use it in a cross-curricular setting. Educators will leave the sessions with their new CS skills, ideas for the classroom, how to provide differentiation, and platform space to continue to practice their new skills themselves and with students.
