This page provides resources for educators, schools, and caregivers looking to provide Computer Science (CS) opportunities for students at home.
Getting Started: Educators can explore the statewide toolkits below. Then explore the resources by grade band or curricular areas through the buttons below.
The Pennsylvania Computer Science Teacher Toolkit contains resources for equitable CS education for all students including students of color, historically underrepresented populations, English language learners (ELLs) and students with disabilities.This toolkit is a constantly-evolving resource aimed at supporting CS teachers in both stand-alone and integrated CS implementation
The Pennsylvania Computer Science Administrator Toolkit contains resources for equitable CS education for all students including students of color, historically underrepresented populations, English language learners (ELLs) and students with disabilities. This toolkit is a constantly-evolving resource aimed at supporting district and building administrators.
The goal of the limited series is to teach the basics of robotics: the what, why, and how with examples, and to provide take-home problems to solve. Instruction is geared to a broad audience, including high school students who may not have access to the Internet or to a computer while schools are closed during the Covid-19 crisis. Each 14-minute teaching module includes a lesson assignment. Participating teachers can use the series to collect the assignments and make The Robot Doctor part of their curriculum through the end of the 2020 school year.
