In this session, we will take a close look at the 8.1 standards, discuss 3 - 5 curriculum connections, and investigate sample lesson plans you can implement in your classroom.
4B: Capturing Diverse Student Interests through the Diverse World of Comp Science
Jason Erdreich
Jason Erdreich
Mr. Jason Erdreich offers students a variety of opportunities to engage with computer science at the middle school level that span the traditional robotics platforms, to autonomous systems, app development, video game design, manufacturing, biotechnology, and more. Getting students excited about computer science starts by building opportunities for engagement and success, and through this session, Mr. Erdreich will be sharing the successes and failures of the K-12 Madison Computer Science program, as well as sharing numerous resources to take to your own makerspace!
4C: CS Beyond AP : Clubs and Classes
Daryl Detrick and Gary Hull
Daryl Detrick and Gary Hull
Would you like to expand your high school Computer Science program beyond APCSA, but not sure where to begin? The session will discuss different options, including a project-based Advanced Topics in CS classes and Computer Science Club activities. Please bring your own experiences to share with the group.
4D: AP Computer Science Courses: Choosing the Right Mix for Your StudentsDianna Frank
AP Computer Science Principles introduces students to the foundational concepts of the field and challenges them to explore how computing and technology can impact the world. The latest research shows AP CSP can have a significant impact on all students, regardless of their post-secondary plans. In addition, AP CSP has expanded access to computer science education to students who were largely underrepresented, including minority and female students. Learn more about AP CSP, how this course differs from AP CSA, and how you can implement AP CSP and/or AP CSA in your school.
