To center equity and justice in computer science education, teachers explore the social, cultural, ethical, and legal impacts of computing from the perspectives of individuals, schools, teachers, students, and the global community. They gain an understanding of the landscape of equity and justice issues related to computer science education; develop critical thinking skills about computing and related technologies; and begin to reimagine computer science education and the design of curricular resources to help students create a more just future.

In-depth introduction to programming through a survey of three programming languages: Scratch, MakeCode, and Python. Teachers develop a broad range of expertise, see how block and text-based languages work together, and learn how computer science can be used as a tool to deepen engagement with classroom content. Final project addresses how to use computer science concepts to address problems that are relevant to teachers’ schools and communities. 

Builds on introductory programming knowledge to solve problems and design systems. Students will learn computational thinking strategies using fundamental computing concepts; understand the role of computer and communication devices in designing and creating innovative solutions; complete activities that investigate computing systems, networks, and the internet; use Scratch, MakeCode, and Python to deepen instructional and pedagogical practices.

Presentation of existing curricular materials. How to modify and create instructional materials to support the integration of computer science content into one’s home subject and to engage students in computer science content as an independent subject. Culturally responsive teaching and universal design are highlighted. Design and implementation of a half day set of activities to members of the community followed by reflection.

The course is designed to equip students with a basic understanding of programming concepts, data structures, algorithms, and fundamental networking and security principles. The course is structured into four main modules, each focusing on a critical area of computer science (Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures, Algorithms, Network and Security Fundamentals.) Each module includes lectures, hands-on labs, and project work to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topics covered. The course also includes a pedagogical component, providing strategies and techniques for effectively teaching and assessing these topics.
