Spring seminar: K-12 Computing Education

We need YOU to help inspire the next generation of computer scientists!

Join the spring K-12 Computing Education seminar to:
– share your excitement about CS with kids
– learn about tools and strategies for teaching CS to anyone
– learn about existing CS outreach and education projects at companies and schools across the nation
– learn how to advocate for CS education and start your own outreach initiatives

We will meet on Tuesdays from 1:30 – 3pm to discuss weekly readings and share our experiences volunteering with K-12 students.  We will also complete a small culminating curriculum project.

There are two credit options:
– >= 2-credit Pipeline seminar (based on number of weekly volunteer hours – see http://www.washington.edu/uwired/pipeline/inner-faq.html); register: https://sdb.admin.washington.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=SPR+2012&SLN=13216

– 1-credit CSE seminar (minimum of 2 hours of volunteer work over the quarter); register: https://sdb.admin.washington.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=SPR+2012&SLN=19855

Registration is by add code only.  Please e-mail me (ln@cs.washington.edu) if you’d like to register.

I hope to see you in spring!

Hélène.
