Listen to industry professionals, CS professors, and CS grad students describe skills needed which could be taught in elementary, MS, and/or HS. You will be invited to discuss the skills mentioned at your lunch tables with other teachers.

Put down the screen and come and play! We are going to learn some basics of computational thinking through hands-on activities that can be taken as-is into the classroom or adjusted to fit your curriculum at a variety of levels.  Learn about algorithms, events, loops and conditionals as we play games, draw pictures, and get moving. Why? Because computational thinking enables real-world problem solving.  No experience necessary.
