Upcoming events

The Madison Alabama City School district is working on arranging a 3-day Project GUTS seminar for their middle school science teachers.  The event has been postponed until July 20-22nd, 2020 with the hope of being able to hold it in-person.

This seminar is tentatively being facilitated by Su Gibbs (su.susangibbs@gmail.com) and Jennifer Cordova.

This is Project GUTS' PD that is part of the PUMP-CS PD Summits.

The course is designed to integrate Computer Science (CS) concepts into existing middle school science classes, especially in contexts in which a standalone CS course is not available. Helps students from all different backgrounds to engage in scientific inquiry by investigating topics of interest to their local communities and sharing their experiments and findings.

The Infosys Foundation USA is excited to host its third annual Pathfinders Summer Institute - virtually - from July 19-24, 2020! While it won’t be convening in-person this year, this will be an engaging professional development opportunity for K-12 public school teachers in computer science and maker education.

Project GUTS’ CS in Science workshop offers interactive instruction from an experienced GUTS facilitators including an introduction to computer science, pedagogy, curriculum overview, and practice with the StarLogo Nova programming environment. The CS in Science curriculum features: use of a block-based programming environment on the web (slnova.org); daily lesson plans for teachers, videos, and supplemental extension resources; a modular design that allows for a variety of classroom implementations; and alignment to national science (NGSS) and computer science (CSTA) standards.
