Learn about IMPACT CONECTAR, Discover free, culturally responsive tools that support teaching computational thinking and coding to elementary students who are also learning English.
| Audience: | Coaches, Curriculum/district specialists, Teachers |
| Skill level: | Beginner |
| Attendee devices: | Devices not needed |
| Participant accounts, software and other materials: | Attendees do not need any accounts, but can use their scratch accounts if they have one. Not having an account will not stop them from learning. This session will give them enough information to complete this process on their own time. |
| Topic: | Computer science & computational thinking |
| Grade level: | 3-5 |
| Subject area: | STEM/STEAM, Computer science |
| ISTE Standards: | For Educators: Facilitator

The purpose of this presentation will be to introduce Impact Conectar as a viable resource to teach both computational thinking and coding to all students. The resources we will share have been specifically tailored to support underrepresented students in coding. We focus on bringing in more linguistically diverse students and young girls. We aim to share this resource with teachers and teacher leaders .
Evidence of success would be that participants leave with the ability and confidence to implement a similar program at their schools and districts the next day.
