CS Education Week is right around the corner (December 8–14), and BootUp PD has something special in store for K–8 teachers and students! This year’s theme, Innovation in Every Community, celebrates how creativity and code come together to make a difference — from local neighborhoods to the world beyond.
On social media, during our CS Ed Week Webinar, and here on our website we’ll be sharing brand-new K-8 Scratch and Scratch Jr projects designed to help every student see themselves as an innovator, storyteller, and problem-solver. Keep an eye out during CSEdWeek for the project releases, webinar, and classroom-ready resources!
What is Computer Science Education Week?
CS Education Week is a community led event that celebrates and highlights CS education for students of all ages in all communities. CS Ed Week was founded to raise awareness about the need to elevate computer science education at all levels and to underscore the critical role of computing in all careers. CSEdWeek is celebrated each year during the week of Grace Hopper’s birthday (December 9, 1906).
Why is Computer Science Education Week Important?
CS Education Week is an opportunity for parents, educators, and students to embrace and include CS Education in schools and in their every day life. Whether it's attending webinars or including CS Education activities in their routine there are endless ways for everybody to get involved.
