K-12 Computing Education Seminar, Spring 2013

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 projects in small teams.

Previous quarters’ projects included designing and implementing a
computer science activity fair for middle school girls and starting a
programming club at a local high school.  See fall’s course page at
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490o/12au/

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

)
– 1-credit CSE seminar (minimum of 2 hours of volunteer work over the
quarter)
