This session is meant to provide curriculum for maker projects. All experience levels are welcome! These projects can be adapted to be used as team-building activities in any classroom, units of study in science (electricity, circuits, engineering simple machines, or computer programming), or used as the basis for a CTE or STEM elective class. The […]

Lessons and resources for teaching Boolean logic, circuits, and machine level algorithms. These topics are part of the AP CS Principles learning outcomes, but many popular curricula don’t address them well. Come explore resources for giving students an accessible,  hands on look at the technologies “under the hood” of the code that they write. Appropriate […]

The new AP CS Principles course is designed to be a college level course that focuses on topics in Computer Science beyond programming (although it includes that as well). It is appropriate as both a rigorous first course in CS for students with little to no experience, as well as a course to expose students […]

An information session for anyone who works with high school students who are applying to college in CS or a related field. Learn about the differences between programs at Oregon universities, about community college transfer and terminal programs.
