CS Summer of Fun 2025

Bring creativity and computational thinking into your classroom with Keynote! In this hands-on session, educators will learn how to use Keynote’s shapes and animation tools to create engaging, subject-specific animated GIFs. Participants will explore how computational thinking—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking—can enhance learning in social studies, ELA, and science. From illustrating historical events and visualizing scientific processes to animating story elements, educators will design GIFs that make abstract concepts more concrete. No prior animation experience is needed—just a willingness to explore and create! By the end of the session, participants will leave with ready-to-use classroom examples and the skills to guide students in making their own educational animations.
