Amazing week with Exploring Computer Science! I've never explored computer science as an @WeAreOneRPA teacher, and in less than a week I feel ready to share with my students! Thank you @CSforOregon!

There is a new, open-access paper by ECS researchers at @FrontEducation! Read "Computer Science for Equity: Teacher Education, Agency, and Statewide Reform," by @joannagoode13, Max Skorodinsky, @jillhubbard, & James Hook here: bit.ly/2Gb9bcB

Fresh off the presses!💻🙌💯#CSforOregon's researchers, Dr. Joanna Goode & Max Skorodinsky were published in @FrontiersIn discussing: "#CSforEquity: Teacher Ed, Agency & Statewide Reform." 📈 #CSequity #CSforALL #ExploringComputerScience #CSEd #h12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We are VERY PLEASED to announce that #TheLemelsonFoundation will CONTINUE FUNDING #InventionBootcamp @Portland_State through 2021! Hooray!!!🥳🎉THANK YOU @LemelsonFdn for your generosity in supporting underrepresented high school students in invention + STEM! @MCECSpdx #STEMcamp

Congratulations to Mark Jones for being appointed the next Chair of the Computer Science Department. His term began August 1.

Ben Steen @KTVZ's channel 21 just filmed #CSforOregon's #ExploringComputerScience PD! Teachers led a tower-building activity that introduces students to the CS concept of a "divide & conquer" algorithm @OSUcascades @uoeducation @MCECSpdx @NSF_CISE @CSforALL @jillhubbard @dyanekCS

@CSforOregon's #ExploringComputerScience PD is off to a great start! Teachers from 28 school districts around the state came together to make CS more accessible for Oregon's students. Way to go! @CSforOregon @jillhubbard @dyanekCS @OSUcascades @uoeducation @NSF_CISE #CSforAll

On day 2 of @CSforOregon's #ExploringComputerScience PD, we talked about the barriers to equitable access. How can we make our CS classrooms reflect the diversity of our neighborhoods? @CSforOregon @jillhubbard @dyanekCS @OSUcascades @uoeducation @MCECSpdx @NSF_CISE @CSforALL

Eight teams participated in this year's Invention Bootcamp Finale. These students created many INCREDIBLE inventions to help protect & clean up "our streets" by being creative, coding, design, and many other technical skills. @PSUimpact @LemelsonFdn @pdxinventcamp #STEMeducation

Invention Bootcamp started today with over TWENTY high school students at the kick-off. EXCITED to see what inventions these students develop!! 🤩🙃@pdxinventcamp @PSUimpact @lemelsonfdn #ThinkBoldMCECS #invention #innovators #bootcamp #camp #mentors #Engineers

Wonderful and wonderfully respectful way to start @Portland_State graduation ceremony this morning.

Taghrid Elmeligui is part of our first cohort of ECS teachers trained through the @CSforOregon project. In last summer's professional development sessions she brought a passion for reaching all students that was truly inspirational. @MCECSpdx @CSforALL
