This session provides opportunities to explore online coding challenge websites that teachers can use to supplement their computer science curriculum and challenge students. Additionally, we’ll spend some time looking at George Fox Programming Competition problems (last year’s and this year’s – if available) and discuss how to implement them in class as well as ways to help prepare students for next year’s competition. Participants should teach at least one programming class (this is not language specific, but my specialty is Java). Access to my teaching resources will be provided.
