2. Getting Started
The first ~3 weeks of this course we are going to learn the fundamentals of computer science using the CS Fundamentals curriculum from Code.org.
And why is studying computer science important to our country?
One good reason is this is where the jobs are.

This graph shows that out of all the NEW “STEM” jobs in our economy, more than 60% will be in computing related occupations

3. every student Our Vision: opportunity every school
Every school should teach, every student should have basic exposure
We don’t look at job data when teach about photosynthesis, H20, or how electricity works
In a 21st century surrounded, every child needs CS basics
opportunity

4. Who is Code.org?
A public 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to bringing computer science to every school, and increasing participation by by women and underrepresented students of color.
Producer of online courses
The computer science PD partner for 30 of the largest districts nationwide, including NYC, LA, and Chicago
The organizer of the Hour of Code campaign

5. CS Fundamentals: CS in grades K-5
Short 20-hour courses for elementary school
Free, open-source, online “games”
Lectures by Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Bosh, Bill Gates, etc
Aligned to reinforce Math, Science, ELA standards
Any district, school, or teacher can participate
Code.org is offering courses for grades K-5. Emphasize the importance of starting young.

6. 4 courses Course 1: for early readers, ages 4-6. (Grades K-1)
Course 2: for beginners, ages 6+ (Grades 2-5)
Course 3: for ages 6+ (Kids who have completed course 2)
Course 4: for ages 6+ (Kids who have completed course 3)
Each course is ~20 lessons, ~40 minutes each
Blend of online tutorials with “unplugged” activities that teach computing concepts without a computer
Designed for all ages. Reinforce math, science, English standards in elementary school.

CS in Science
Breakfast - Dani
Later - Josh
To date, our MS strategy has been to integrate with other core subjects
CS in Science
CS in Algebra.
Demand for stand alone CS course in the MS
Requests for our high school intro course to leverage the teaching tools found in CSP
Lots of requests for something to follow CSF with
Set out to build a course that still accommodates various implementations
Semester
Year
Late middle school
Early high school
This course will live in parallel with CS in A and CS in S
When this course launches in the ‘17-’18 school year, that will coincide with us not offering ECS to new school partners, with implementation spanning across late middle school to early high school
Notes
CS in Algebra
All courses are intended to be entry points to the pathway (exception: Courses 3 and 4 in CS Fundamentals recommend completion of Course 2)
Actual implementation may vary
Courses 2 – 4 in CS Fundamentals are often used by older students
CS Discoveries
Exploring Computer Science

With some substitutions we can do this much more easily.
Instead of having to write out an entire phrase for each instruction, we can use symbols.
