Louisiana State University has entered into an interagency agreement with the Louisiana Department of Education to offer the Ignite Initiative, free computer science professional learning for elementary teachers.
The Capital Area STEM Network Center (CASN), housed within the Gordon A. Cain Center for STEM Literacy at LSU, will oversee the program.
The workshops, totaling 24 hours, will consist of multiple cohorts, varying in time and format, with 2 fully in-person options, 1 hybrid option, and 3 virtual options. Participants will be introduced to a variety of educational resources in computational thinking, block programming, and cyber-safety.
“Our team is pleased to offer training in foundational computer science skills for elementary teachers. By integrating computer science with existing subjects, teachers can help students strengthen their math literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities—skills that will have a lasting impact on their futures.”
