CSPD Week
by Computer Science Alliance

 Computer Science Professional Development Week (CSPD Week)
 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.

Supercomputing Challenge

"Supercomputing Challenge students have spent the past year working on computational projects of their design.  Rather than canceling the Expo presentations that are normally done in person at Los Alamos National Labs, the Challenge will pioneer an online alternative to our annual Expo on April 27th by moving student final presentations, judging and an award ceremony to a virtual platform. 
The Supercomputing Challenge is open to New Mexico middle-schools and high-school students, including home-schooled students.  Students work in teams and follow their own interests to choose a topic to computationally model. Any interested new students wanting to be involved next year can make plans to start next academic year."
