CS Summer of Fun 2025

Explore the use of CODAP with social studies content. Look at the World Cities example dataset and Investigating U.S. Society with Data (USS-DATA) resources. Learn how to upload and analyze your own data set using a .csv file.

Learn to use GeoGebra Script to add code to GeoGebra apps. Topics will include using variables, Boolean operators, input boxes, and animation to create interactive apps based on the GeoGebra graphics window.

Get ready to combine coding, creativity, and problem-solving with Sphero BOLTs! In this interactive session, educators will learn how to design and program a mini golf course where Sphero BOLTs act as the golf balls. Participants will explore block-based coding to navigate obstacles, adjust speed and angles, and create engaging course challenges. Through this hands-on experience, educators will discover how computational thinking, physics, and engineering concepts come to life while fostering collaboration and critical thinking in the classroom, making the learning both fun and interactive!

Take narrative writing to a new level with Twine, an easy-to-use, free, open-source tool your students can use to create interactive, non-linear stories. Like a choose-your-own adventure book, Twine allows writers to build non-linear stories, identifying where choices should be made, and how the choices will impact the plot and character development. In this interactive session, we’ll use narrative writing as a focus when using Twine, and also brainstorm the diverse applications this tool has in a classroom. This session is accessible for beginners, but Twine has depth for those who desire more coding.
