Computer Science Discussion and Programming Ideas
As computer science education continues to grow across New York State, we would love the opportunity to learn from one another and highlight the exciting work happening in counties across the state.
Please join us for a virtual sharing session where educators and staff can:
Share computer science and coding programs currently being offered in your county- if you would like to share- please email Kandis separately.
Discuss successes, challenges, and lessons learned
Talk about how we make these programs "4-H"
Learn about CodeSpark Academy and how it can be utilized to support youth computer science learning
Ask questions and exchange ideas with peers engaged in CS education
Date: December 1st
Time: 1-2:30pm
Location: Zoom
Whether you are running a well-established computer science program or are just beginning to explore coding opportunities for youth, we hope you'll join the conversation. Your experiences and ideas will help strengthen computer science education efforts across our state.
Please come prepared to briefly share:
Programs or activities you are currently offering or want to offer
Target audience/age groups
Resources or curriculum being used
Success stories and challenges
Any areas where collaboration would be helpful
I will also introduce CodeSpark Academy and discuss ways counties might incorporate the platform into existing STEM programming. This discussion is intended solely for educational and informational purposes. Mention of CodeSpark Academy does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or preference by Cornell University, Cornell Cooperative Extension, or New York State 4-H Youth Development.
I look forward to connecting and learning together!
