Changing Expectations June 12-16th WeTeach_CS Computer Science Collaborative

Learning to Teach STEM in the Classroom!

This past week Changing Expectations had the pleasure of hosting a teacher workshop with 20 members of our computer science collaborative. Our founder, Phillip Eaglin, led the group in learning coding skills that make it easy for these teachers to educate their students on valuable STEM skills. 

Check out our computer science teacher collaborative in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin’s STEM Education Center.

CSforAll

Computer Science for All

is a bold new initiative to empower all US students from kindergarten through high school to learn computer science and be equipped with the computational thinking skills they need to be creators in the digital economy, not just consumers, and to be active citizens in our technology-driven world.

Changing Expectations is a proud Consortium Member of CSforAll. We are committed to providing K-12 and higher education STEMlearning opportunities to alleviate diverse talent shortages and advance the future STEM and computing workforce by inspiring and preparing K-12 and college students.  We particularly focus on preparing and supporting those who are underrepresented in STEM fields: female, low income, and students of color–to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math related fields. 

Check out CSforAll's webpage to see the work being done on the national stage. For a look at how to get involved locally, head over to our programs page
