I am a Co-PI on Workforce Ready 2030, and have worked at MMSA in STEM education research for nearly a decade. I'm especially interested in the integration of CS into rural classrooms around Maine.
How does that device in your hands actually work? This session will highlight the CS Unplugged curriculum I currently use in my 5th grade classroom, however I have taught it at the 9-12 level in the past and it can be adapted for younger grades as well. This curriculum is a progression of hands-on and interactive activities using basic props, but no computers. During our session, we will explore topics from binary numbers and searching/sorting algorithms to cryptography (code breaking) and artificial intelligence. This is the first in a multi-part series presented throughout the day. It is recommended to attend the whole series if possible, but each portion could be attended on its own if needed.

We’ll discuss strategies on how to integrate UDL principles into CS lessons. We will do this by looking at example computer science lessons to see UDL practices already in place and workshop ways to add/change the lesson to integrate more. Feel free to bring a computer science lesson of your own to workshop.
