My Students

Our students are excited about computers! They want to know everything they can about it and have had great success with blended learning techniques. Our students and teachers have spent the last few years getting comfortable with completing assignments online and we are now ready to move to the next level!

Our students would love to get into some computer programming but our teachers need the professional development to begin crafting lessons.

Help our teacher attend a coding professional development that they will bring back to the students!

My Project

Our school is nearly a one to one device school. Therefore, 90% of our students have access to a technology learning device every day and in every class.

I would like the chance to attend this conference to learn the latest and greatest teaching practices surrounding coding.

We feel that middle school is a great time for students to explore future career interests and this PD would give us the chance to offer an additional option for students. Please help to give our students a chance at learning how to use computers to improve our everyday lives through computer science coding! Thanks for coordinating this event, CSTA.
