Computer skills are near and dear to the ESIP mission. By encouraging teachers to learn how to code, develop smartphone apps, and design story maps, we help them build the data scientist pipeline. Learning computer skills will help teachers to encourage their students to be creators, more than just a consumer, of the technology around us.  In this session we will discuss specific goals for teachers (and their students), options of different computing curriculum, and plan the summer session at the ESIP Education workshop 2018.

Turn it into a “book club” event - invite educators to engage. Get together to try out new exercises together.
