June 1-5, 2020 CSPD Week is a virtual/blended week of PD dedicated to Computer Science Education. Organized by Computer Science Alliance and delivered by a variety of experienced facilitators, we will run the PD to allow for our new reality of social distancing by doing it via remote learning platforms. We will still spend June 1-5, 2020 with other educators and CS professionals to learn more about CS and a range of fantastic opportunities to integrate CS into any and all content areas and grade levels OR to offer CS courses, clubs, and after school programs for elementary, middle, and high school students. Last year we had over 220 educators K- higher ed join us to learn about curriculum and resources to bring CS to our NM students.
