These will be recorded to share with those that 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 in computer science instruction. Workshops are offered both online and in-person. Scholarships are available to teachers who meet the criteria. At the completion of training, teachers will have access to the entire suite of computer science curriculum created by code.org.
With Code.org’s comprehensive CS 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!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either Guy Trainin (gtrainin2@unl.edu) or Michael Bergland-Riese (riese@unl.edu).
