The webinars will be recorded to share with those who are unable to attend.
Code.org®, the leading provider of K–12 computer science curriculum in the largest school districts in the United States, is an education innovation non-profit dedicated to the vision that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K–12 education.
Each summer, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers weeklong professional development workshops to prepare teachers for computer science instruction. Workshops are offered both online and in person. Scholarships are available to teachers who meet the criteria. After training, teachers will have access to the entire suite of computer science curricula created by cCode.org.
Additionally, we have grant funding that will allow us to give travel support (up to $1500) to all teachers who sign up for the Computer Science Principles course.
With Code.org’s comprehensive computer science curricula, teaching platform (CodeStudio), lesson plans, instructional materials, hands-on training run by our Code.org certified and trained facilitators, and ongoing community support, you can successfully teach these courses — even if you don’t have any background knowledge of computer technology, computer science, whatever the case may be!
To win the robots/supplies, you must be present to win. All winners will be contacted after the webinar on how to obtain their gift.
