Program: Meetings and Workshops

Audience: High School Teachers and Administrators

Dates: 4/3/2019

Target Audience: High School Teachers and Administrators

Description: Computer Science Principles introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer science and challenges them to explore how computing and technology can change he world. More than a traditional introduction to programming, it is a rigorous, engaging, and approachable course that explores many of the foundational ideas of computing so all students understand how these concepts are transforming the world we live in.

The Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC) is an AP Computer Science Principles compliant curriculum. It emphasizes the joy and complexity of creating visual computer programs and apps, balanced with critical reflection on both the potential benefits and harms of new computer technologies. BJC has a strong design and programming focus, using the visual programming language Snap! and a collaborative, exploratory approach where students work in teams to bring their own unique creations to life.

In this full day session, we will take a look at the AP CSP outline provided by the College Board, wear our student hats to experience two activities from the BJC curriculum, take a look at some curated teacher tips and tricks, then plan how implementation might look at our particular schools or sites.
