UO/ExploringCS and NCWIT visit SuperQuest Eugene
SuperQuest Eugene wrapped Friday, August 5, but not before we got a great talk from Joanna Goode, one of the co-authors of the Exploring Computer Science Curriculum, and her occasional colleague and co-champion of inclusive pedagogy, Jane Krauss. They talked about Equity and Inclusion in Computer Science. Joanna, from the University of Oregon’s School of […]
Google CS Ed Head visits SuperQuest Eugene
Chris Stephenson‘s SuperQuest presentation “And Now the Hard Work Begins: Achieving the Promise of Computer Science Education” was live-posted from SuperQuest in early August and I have now added the promised summary/scaffolding. Chris Stephenson is the Head of CS Education Programs at Google, the former founding Executive Director of ACM’s Computer Science Teacher Association, and a Eugene resident. […]
DIY Guide grants (up to $1,000) from Allen Distinguished Educators program
The Allen Distinguished Educators (ADE) program is now accepting applications for DIY Guide grants (up to $1,000) enabling teachers to bring more hands-on, project-based, authentic learning opportunities to their students. Applicants can choose from 11 award-winning computer science, engineering, and/or entrepreneurship projects from burrito-fueled STEM explorations, to coding cultural understanding, to engineering habitats for hermit […]

SuperQuest: What Goes on Here Does Not Stay Here
One of the educators in Melissa Kessler’s App Inventor class in Pendleton teaches preschool — and she came out of the class confident that she can use ScratchJr this fall, to help the kids she works with have fun, learn, and have some control. No more App specific classes this summer, but there are Game Development […]

SuperQuest 2016: Game On!
Jill Hubbard wears many hats, and this summer at SuperQuest it’s a gamer’s cap. She’s teaching teachers, sharing her experiences from her Game Development class at Tualatin High School (sandwiched between her Engineering, programming, and robotics duties). These pictures were taken at the Wilsonville SuperQuest, where the event and instructors got great reviews. You still […]
LEGO Robotics for Classes and Clubs, not just Competitions
Don Domes gives his class of teachers a small number of LEGO pieces, access to some student-appropriate internet resources, a worksheet, markers, whiteboards, lots of hands on time to practice, and very little lecturing. Some teachers have no previous experience, some have a couple of years, but all are engaged and making progress at showing […]
SuperQuest 2016: We got Apps!
Jason Galbraith from Sunset High taught App Development to a darkened roomful of teachers in Wilsonville — we let them back into the light for Lunch and Learn Speakers. Right now in Redmond, Melissa Kessler’s App Inventor class is going strong (but no pictures — yet). And next week in Pendleton, Melissa will be teaching […]
Making the Case for ASE: High School Internships in Computer Science
On Saturday, June 25, 2016, a devoted group of industry professionals, educators, legislators, non-profit program providers, and community members gathered at the OCSTA Symposium to sound the call for greater collaboration and support for more computer science-literate students in Oregon. To accomplish this, we desperately need more computer science instruction in formal K-12 education, but […]
