Join us on Thursday, March 16, 2023, from 6-7 p.m. CT for a discussion on CS education and how the concepts within can be integrated into other subject matter.

Allowing students to explore CS ideas and concepts in other subject matter is a great way to expose students to computational thinking. It can also serve as an exploration of computer science through varying applications. This is particularly true for students that may not have the opportunity to take CS otherwise. Join us on Thursday, March 16, 2023, from 6-7 p.m. CT for a discussion on CS education and how the concepts within can be integrated into other subject matter. This session will address why CS integration is important, considerations to make with integrating CS into other subjects, and how it could look in practice.
