Three Michigan Tech faculty members have received a Google Computer Science for High School grant to develop a UP-wide community of K-12 teachers trained to teach computer science to their students. The kick-off event is a workshop on computer science and computational thinking August 17-19 at Michigan Tech.
The workshop is free and includes meals, a hotel room for teachers from out of town, a stipend to help cover travel expenses and a year of support from Michigan Tech’s Computer Science Department for computer science course development and instruction.
The workshop will start with basic computer science principles. Teachers with little or no computer science experience are welcome. Up to 40 teachers can attend.
One of the workshop’s goals is to help teachers integrate computer programming into existing courses.
