SJCOE STEM Programs

This month's AcademiCS symposium features the work of Professor Saif Islam of UC Davis. We'll be making a spectral analyzer & focusing on data. We are excited to be partnered with UC Davis @citrisnews and Placer COE for this CDE funded event. #SeasonsofCS bit.ly/academicssympo…

A new make a take item is being engineered for each AcadmiCS event! Yesterdays tech was a keyboard that types in binary, then converts it to base 10 and types that into the computer.

Yesterday teachers came to the SJCOE FabLab & Tuolumne Co. to hear from Wes Johnson, former Apple Software Engineer, about how CS relates to his work & to make & take binary keyboards. Next AcademiCS Symposium is Nov 28th! bit.ly/academicssympo… #CSforCA #SeasonsofCS #SJCOESTEM

We will be hosting monthly computer science professional learning events at the SJCOE FabLab. Hear from scientists, engineers and more about CS in their field. Teachers can earn a $125 stipend for 3 hours of learning. bit.ly/academicssympo… #CSforCA #SeasonsofCS #SJCOESTEM

This week local students learned at both UC Davis CITRIS Lab and the @SJCOE FabLab! They coded, engineered, heard lectures from professors, wore bunny suits in a computer chip lab and were inspired! We were so glad to partner with @Citrisnews for this amazing opportunity!

@citrisnews UC Davis will be providing a $400 stipend for teachers participating in this exciting one day institute. We would love to have your input and ideas. You can apply at bit.ly/scienceofcompu…

Teachers, if you are interested in investigating computer chip engineering and its application to NGSS please join SJCOE STEM & @CITRISNews in a one day Science of Computing Institute for Educators July 17, 2023 at the CITRIS lab at UC Davis. Apply at bit.ly/scienceofcompu….

Happy to announce @SJCOESTEM & @Citrisnews UC Davis are partnering to provide the High School Computer Chip and AI Engineering Institute. Students will learn all types of cutting edge tech at UC Davis and at the SJCOE FabLab June 5-7. Apply at bit.ly/davissjcoestud… by April 30

A few spots are left in the summer of CS, a statewide opportunity for teachers to earn $175 a day learning Computer Science curriculum. There are both in-person & virtual options, including 3 different PDs the week of June 11 at SJCOE. Register at seasonsofcs.org

Students will be at SJCOE on Saturday, April 15 to use their video game skills and win the championship. The event will also be fun for those who want to watch and join in other fun activities we have planned. #WeAreSJCOE

If you are interested in getting more CS into your school, but you didn't get a chance to attend the amazing Administrator and Counselor trainings in January, there is another chance February 13. You can register at seasonsofcs.org/upcoming-works…

SJCOE will be hosting the Summer of CS this June. In the meantime, if you are an administrator and would like to learn more about implementing CS at your site, Winter of CS includes a virtual training you can attend January 24. We hope you'll join.

Students can make complex models of solutions to real world problems in Minecraft Education. This summer they'll get to use computer science while building and collaborating to engineer in this fun game. Registration for Summer STEM Camps is now open at fablab.sjcoescience.org

Students deserve access to the opportunities that come with learning comp sci. That is why we are excited to announce that @SJCOESTEM and @CodeStackSJ will be hosting the Girls Coding Collaboration again at the SJCOE FabLab on Jan 21, 2023. Register at bit.ly/girlscoding2023

CS Ed Week starts today! If you missed our event last week there is still a chance to catch another Winter of CS event being held by CDE today. winterofcs.org/home?fbclid=Iw… Tune in to CS Bytes: A Tasting Menu of Professional Learning for help on having Hour of Code in your classroom.

We are so excited about CS Education Week, Dec. 6-12, when many students who haven't yet tried computer science will be introduced to a new skill. If you are considering doing Hour of Code in your classroom, join us to prepare Nov. 29 at the SJCOE FabLab. bit.ly/ReadySetGo2022

"It's just fun. It's fun to work on a real-world situation and try to fix it with coding," said Kavish, one of the students building an app to #hackthedrought from West High (Tracy Unified) in today's #h2ohackathon.

One of the best parts of Fall CUE is that it is two days of professional learning. Educators from all over the region are back for a second day of keynotes, collaboration and inspiration on the Teachers College of San Joaquin Campus. #FallCUE #SJCOE

We are so excited for this morning! Fall CUE has just started, hosted by SJCOE and Teachers College of San Joaquin. There will be more than 130 sessions shared by local teachers and educators from all over the state! #SJCOE #FallCUE
