Description
We are pleased to announce the upcoming K-12 Teaching Coding Workshop: coding for the classroom that will take place from June 5-7, 2023 at the University of Alabama. Students and Teachers make everyday decisions based on massive amounts of data whether they know it or not. Visualization and analysis empowers people to use this data in productive and efficient ways. The University of Alabama with the support of the National Science Foundation QuarkNet program is organizing a coding and data analysis workshop for teachers that will focus on introduction to basic coding and data analysis activities that can be used in the classroom.


 

Teachers will learn to use the Python coding language to analyze and visualize data. Teachers will leave the workshop with a plan to implement real world data analysis using coding in the classroom. Teachers will receive a stipend of $120 per day for participation in this 3 day workshop. This workshop does not require any prior knowledge of programming languages. The workshop will take place on the University of Alabama campus from 9 am to 4 pm on June 5 - 7. To apply please fill out this form by June 2. If accepted, you will receive an email by June 3rd with more details about the workshop.

      Work on Implementation Plans

      Brainstorm and data search
      Develop a plan for implementation with your students
      Use whatever format or structure you’d like
      A good place to include your implementation plan is in your coding notebook.
      Be prepared to have others look at your implementation plan and coding activity during Session 2.
