Computer science fosters creativity and teaches students critical thinking skills to become proactive learners, so elementary school is the ideal time for students to be introduced to CS. Our six Computer Science Fundamentals courses are flexibly designed for teachers new to CS who want to offer accessible and equitable introductory CS courses to their students. New to teaching computer science? No worries! Most of our teachers have never taught computer science before. Join local teachers for inspiring and hands-on support to implement computer science in your classroom.

Computing skills are the most sought-after and highest-paying in the US job market, with demand growing 3X the national average. Yet fewer than 1 in 5 computer science graduates are women, and that number is declining. To close the gender gap in technology and provide more opportunities for girls, we must teach girls and boys not only how to positively impact their community through code, but also how to be brave, resilient, and inclusive. Join Ngan Pham, Girls Who Code's Arizona Partnership Coordinator, to learn how to inspire and equip youth in your community with the skills they need to succeed in college and career.

Join us to discuss what your excited about at the CSTA National Virtual Conference July 13-14

Open to any CSTA Indiana member to attend.  Those that attended the National Conference will share things they learned.  We will also discuss our fall CSTA Indiana kickoff.  

This introductory workshop models a variety of CT concepts and practices through the active creation of multiple Scratch projects. Attendees will unpack the pedagogical, technological, and content knowledge necessary to incorporate coding projects into a classroom, then discuss and apply approaches for creating or modifying integration projects that are customized to your classroom's needs. All of the resources and platforms we will discuss are 100% free to use and require no prior coding experience. This two-day workshop runs from 9am-12pm on July 16th and 17th
