CISE DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES
BJC was chosen as one of the initial pilots for a new, upcoming non-majors "AP CS: Principles" course to broaden participation in computing. The goal of the "CS10K" effort is to prepare 10,000 new high school CS teachers to teach the AP course by 2016. We were funded through NSF's CE21 initiative to provide summer
workshops for 100
HS teachers. This talk will introduce the AP CS Principles framework, our BJC course, the engaging Snap! (Build Your Own Blocks) development environment, and share our results from running half a dozen teacher training workshops (face-to-face and online) this summer.
