CS Fundamentals in K-5 Classrooms

FREE Virtual Workshops
This workshop is provided by Colonial Intermediate Unit 20,
in partnership with Delaware County Intermediate Unit.

Code.org has developed an elementary school curriculum that allows even the youngest learner to explore the limitless world of computer science with an easy to follow curriculum guide. Code.org and CIU 20 are providing a one-day workshop that consists of instruction in these courses that blend online, guided self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” classroom activities that require no computer.

For more information, please call or email: Susan Kandianis, Ed.D., CIU20, Supervisor of Educational Technology, (610) 515-6561 or skandianis@ciu20.org.

Changing the Face of
Computer Science
Although computer science has become foundational to every industry and field of study, representation and participation in computer science is still far from balanced.

Today we’re launching a video campaign to change the face of computer science: https://youtu.be/uhcA6K8rWp0
Only 3% of Black students learn computer science in high school or beyond.Please watch and share this video broadly. Inspire or encourage a student to try computer science, and let them know they belong. Together we can change the face of computer science. 

The organizations partnering to launch this video are nonprofits led by people of color, all of whom have spent years on broadening participation and access, and we are delighted to be working together. 
The work to broaden participation in computer science has a long way to go to reach balanced representation. We’re thankful for all the educators and organizations who have supported the movement to ensure that every student in every school has a chance to participate.
