Today is huge. We're now officially rated Accomplished by STEMworks, one of the most prestigious tags for a STEM program. Their vetting process is extremely demanding: we uploaded ~150 PAGES of documentation, all of which they reviewed. Ton of work to get here; really happy!
We're thrilled to be at #DataSciEdCon25, talking with teachers and faculty about the opportunities and challenges of bringing #DataScience to K-12! Our program director is presenting our Alg2 work with Padmanabhan Seshaiyer, and attending a fantastic session from Deborah Crawford
Just finished another week of @Bootstrapworld Data Science training at CSPD week in Anaheim. Great group of teachers who are now on the Data Science journey....
@Bootstrapworld Data Science training happening in San Jose this week thanks to SSCOE. Great group of teachers to work with. I love my job!! One week off and then off to Anaheim to repeat.
What a wonderful week of computer science PD during the #summerofcs@RCOE with @RCOE_IS. Thank you to the participants, facilitators, CDE Foundation and our county partners throughout the state. Can wait to see the impact for our students. Learn more at seasonsofcs.org
Who says you have to choose btw Algebra 2 and #DataScience? There are already CA-APPROVED classes that serve both goals — and the materials and training are FREE.
Teachers, are you ready for the #SummerCountdown?
Each week we're going to be spotlighting a new #datascience pd workshop. This week, check out @Bootstrapworld Algebra 2 Workshop happening 6/24-28 in Riverside, CA! Find out how you can sign up here: hubs.li/Q02ypz290
"Data Science, or Algebra 2?" How about a completely-free workshop that shows how both can work together in the same class, combining the strengths of each? Spots are limited, so reserve your seat now! @dsforeveryone@CAMathCouncilairtable.com/embed/appOUY7eT…
.@Bootstrapworld provides fantastic professional development helping algebra teachers reinforce the concepts they are teaching through the use of computer science. Check out sites.google.com/view/season… to learn more and register for Riverside June 24th-June 28.
Another cool thing happened when the kids exclaimed, that the Math teacher started a Stats unit & asked if they knew what categorial & quantitative data were. They replied yes, we learned that in Computer Science class! Later, the math teacher and I fist bumped :) @bootstrapworld
Just in time coaching is invaluable when teaching a new curriculum. Shout out to Joy S, Bootstrap Coach, for helping me improve my lesson flow and understanding for teaching Data Science, Data Types and "Contracts", with Pyret ! @bootstrapworld@JoyStraub
While discussing gut reactions for Education Qs "How does quality of ed differ across the US?", Ss acknowledge $$ influences opportunity to get tutors, pay for schools, etc. One student exclaimed just cause your rich doesn't mean your happy! Loving the convo! @Bootstrapworld
