Host a Code.org Workshop

I have facilitated over 60 workshops training over 1,200 educators in the Midwest and am looking for future host locations to help me expand computer science education.

• access to a room with a projector, sound system, flexible seating, power sources for attendee devices, and restrooms nearby
  
• contact person for logistics
• storage for materials that will arrive up to one week ahead of time
• an employee for a welcome and explanation of the host site
• optional - if at a business, employees can share their role and connection to computer science
• workshops are free to host

• in-person instruction from an experienced computer science facilitator
• an intro to computer science and pedagogy
• an overview of the online curriculum and teacher dashboard
• a printed curriculum guide containing course lesson plans
• strategies for teaching “unplugged” classroom activities
• classroom supplies for the unplugged activities
• a certificate of completion
• a bag of Code.org swag
• workshops are free for educators to attend

• conversations with educators
• advertised workshop across school districts and social media
• a sense of pride knowing that you are helping CS education grow
