The purpose of this session is to empower participants to create STEAM Projects by engaging in computational thinking with an emphasis on block based programming through the design thinking process. We want all participants to walk away with the tools and a thinking process to be able to apply these skills to create Computer Science integrated projects for any academic content areas to showcase their learning. Participants will also have opportunities to learn about one elementary school’s approach to teaching Computer Science Education during school hours so that all students have access to these learning experiences.
