"CS4HS" (Computer Sciece for High School)
June 27-28, 2011
CS4HS (Computer Science for High School) is an initiative sponsored by Google to promote Computer Science and Computational Thinking in secondary schools. UMass Lowell has received a 2011 CS4HS grant from Google's Education Group, and is delighted to offer a 2-day, hands-on workshop to regional middle- and high-school computer science, mathematics, and technology teachers.
Our goals are to provide teachers with (1) ideas they can immediately bring into their teaching; (2) a forum to share approaches with each other; and (3) an opportunity to meet our faculty and see what we can offer their students. For more information, click here.
To register you must complete an online form.
