Teach Them Where They Live
Teach Them Where They Live
Mobile CSP provides a complete curriculum and professional development that engages students and teachers in learning the principles of computer science (CS) through building socially useful mobile apps - reaching students where they live, on their mobile devices. Students complete 6 units, each of which includes lessons on app tutorials and creative projects, big ideas in CS, and the impact of computing. Lesson plans and a teacher dashboard are provided to easily implement the curriculum and track student progress.
Teachers will also learn and practice inclusive and effective strategies for creating a classroom environment where all students can learn CS. Teachers will be mentored by experienced Mobile CSP master teachers during the summer and academic year while teaching the course. Teachers will join this warm and supportive community that includes over 600 teachers and 10,000 students throughout the U.S.
College Board Endorsement
78% of Mobile CSP students passed the AP CSP exam, above the national average of 74%
The Mobile CSP curriculum is endorsed by the College Board's AP Computer Science Principles which was the largest launch of an AP course in history. High school teachers from all backgrounds have successfully implemented the course in both the AP and non-AP format.
