Computing skills are the most sought-after and highest-paying in the US job market, with demand growing 3X the national average. Yet fewer than 1 in 5 computer science graduates are women, and that number is declining. To close the gender gap in technology and provide more opportunities for girls, we must teach girls and boys not only how to positively impact their community through code, but also how to be brave, resilient, and inclusive. Join Ngan Pham, Girls Who Code's Arizona Partnership Coordinator, to learn how to inspire and equip youth in your community with the skills they need to succeed in college and career.

CSTA 2020 is going Virtual! While the format may be different, we look forward to a great virtual conference — still created by teachers, for teachers — and can’t wait for you to join us the week of July 13, 2020. Registration will re-open in late April and the Scholarship Deadline has been extended to May 17th.

This introductory workshop models a variety of CT concepts and practices through the active creation of multiple Scratch projects. Attendees will unpack the pedagogical, technological, and content knowledge necessary to incorporate coding projects into a classroom, then discuss and apply approaches for creating or modifying integration projects that are customized to your classroom's needs. All of the resources and platforms we will discuss are 100% free to use and require no prior coding experience. This two-day workshop runs from 9am-12pm on July 16th and 17th
