What if answer keys in CS classrooms aren't such a good thing? Are they killing creativity? @jolson_codes puts it well at blog.upperlinecode.com/what-if-answer… #learncs #teachcode #computerscience #csforall #cseducation

@UpperlineCode This was the most transformative PD in my entire 10 years as a teacher.

It's that time of year again! We're launching our application for the 2022 summer teaching fellowship! Learn to Code + Learn to Teach Code. Apply at upperlinecode.com/teacher-fellow…

@MathyMcMatherso AMAZING! Well done Dan!

I worked on a few pieces of this - excited for the doors it opens in the future. Also - the first module is all about coding and poetry - how cool is that?!?!? It’s a truly beautiful series of lessons full of creativity

"I have found, over and over, that students who are passionate about their chosen projects will work harder and longer, and learn far more, than students who work on assignments or puzzles that I have given them." makelearn.org/2021/10/23/str…

@BerriosVRE Yes!

A Ss keeps saying "coding is hard & I don't know all the codes". In our feedback recap I repeated that coders do not know all the code. We all feel confused sometimes. These feelings are normal. We can look code up, experiment, or ask a friend. Today he said class was fun. 🥰🥰🥰

Today was my first day back with students & my first day implementing strategies I lived by this summer with @UpperlineCode. Can I tell you, today was my best first day of teaching in my 11 years as a teacher. See thread for some strategies that made it great.

We are so grateful to partner with @Bootstrapworld @mouse_org @TEALSProgram @UpperlineCode and @UTeachCS to support teachers in learning a variety of #CSed curricula this year!💻🏫❤️

@BerriosVRE This is awesome!

Made some more p5 art + code. It looks like a studio art project from back when I was a high school art teacher in Clarkstown. A study in contrast?

"There are so many people that are not invited into this space, that don’t see people that look like them in this space and so, being able to teach this, specifically at my school, is incredibly important to me and why I’m pushing for a CS track" - Maha Hasen #edtech

@alemosie Very cool! Where can we see it?

I built a little web app (well, currently only locally run 😅) based on the popular British panel show "Would I Lie To You?" as an alternative to the standard social catch-up call. My friends from college and I played this weekend, and it was loads of fun! 🙂

Hey @CSforAllNYC @csta_nyc high school teachers! HUGE (free) opportunity for female & nonbinary CUNY-bound HS seniors. @brkthroughNY Summer Guild gives students a weeklong immersion in code and product development led by @UpperlineCode! No prior CS experience necessary #CSforALL

We are so proud of @UpperlineCode and @BrkThroughTech alum Nalini Ramdeo! We've always believed that providing early opportunities for underrepresented students to learn code opens doors and builds confidence, but check out Nalini's story for the proof! bit.ly/bttalumni

In 2020, an est. one million computer-programming related jobs went unfilled. Early-stage technical talent development is the key to closing this gap. Help us train the next generation of diverse computer science leaders by referring Upperline Code today. partners.upperlinecode.com/referral

"If we create welcoming and inclusive spaces for students while they are studying computer science, but then see them transition to workplaces that are still filled with gatekeepers - we’ve only done half the work." blog.upperlinecode.com/build-inclusiv… #technology #DiversityandInclusion

Tech companies have long cited the 'pipeline problem' for their lack of #diversity when, in truth, there is talent everywhere. We believe that investing in opportunities for historically marginalized groups, where they are, will transform the #pipeline. partners.upperlinecode.com/rethinktalent
