Welcome to our take-home professional development course. Activities include creating physical
computing artifact based on a story from your life, designing a visual narrative
of your story, adding circuitry, programing your LEDs to convey your story, and more!
This curriculum blends Indian education with computer science standards and can
be run in any classroom, as it implements math, science, ELA, social studies,
and visual arts standards for grades 4-6. Teachers need not be experts in
computer science to implement this curriculum.
In this professional development, we address:
- engaging CS pedagogical content through IEFA
- introducing CS to your students
- teaching computational practices that work for all learners
- providing alternative methods of assessing student learning.
Before the lessons begin, take some time to review some materials concerning
computer science education.
