This event has concluded. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success.
3A: Computer Ethics: Engaging through Science Fiction-Part 2
This session will be a mock class: we will do a brief review of ethical frameworks, and will break into groups to discuss the characters' decision making from the story in terms of those frameworks. We will reconvene to talk about the process of drawing out ethical questions from stories, and how that can be done in the classroom. You may attend this session even if you missed Part 1.
3B: Community-driven Curriculum for Intro CS (Python) with Python for Everyone and Coding Rooms

In this session, you will learn about the Python for Everyone community-driven curriculum project and how to leverage the power of a community-driven curriculum with Coding Rooms. Coding Rooms empowers educators with a platform that enables them to build their own teaching tools, freely design their content, and bring their teaching style to life!
3C: Data to the Rescue: Penguins Need our Help!

Data to the Rescue: Penguins Need our Help! Is designed to leverages the availability of real-world scientific data to strengthen the practices of science, including visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting data, while engaging youth in discussing the impacts of climate change. The project culminates in a creative project called a Data Jam to help youth communicate how the polar regions are transforming due to climate change. In this session, we will share our Data to the Rescue program for middle school learners as well as reflections on how we try to broaden youths’ relatively narrow perception and images of polar scientists, in an attempt to disrupt the “otherness” of science and build inclusivity. We will describe strategies to help facilitate the use of messy data in the classroom using online tools such as CODAP.
3D: CS History: Look Backward to Go Forward
Evan Koblentz
Evan Koblentz
Knuth called it The Art of Computer Programming, and art students start by learning the history of their field. Shouldn’t every student in every subject do the same? From the abacus to Babbage, ENIAC, and Altair, it’s vital that CS students learn where their field has been in order to understand context of the present and future.
3E: Preparing for Tech Careers at Google (and generally)
