Sunset Spark unofficially started in the Summer of 2008 when Yadira and Gaelen taught 3rd and 4th graders soldering and robotics at P.S. 24 in Brooklyn. In 2013, they began pursuing Sunset Spark's mission full-time by partnering with neighborhood schools to provide in-class creative technology instruction.
Elementary school teachers can sign up for a free, high-quality professional development workshop from an experienced computer science facilitator. The workshop will provide an intro to computer science, pedagogy, overview of the online curriculum, teacher dashboard, and strategies for teaching “unplugged” classroom activities. Workshops last 6-7 hours and will prepare you to teach the Code Studio courses for grades K-5.
