Code.org CS Discoveries
Professional Learning Program

The University of Texas at Austin is offering virtual CS Discoveries local summer workshops in the 2026-2027 school year. 

Code.org Computer Science Discoveries is appropriate for 6-10th grade students and can be taught as a semester or year long introductory course (3-5 hours per week of instruction for 9+ weeks).

The course inspires students as they build their own websites, apps, games, and physical computing devices.

Teachers who apply and are accepted to the program commit to:

• Attending the five-day, virtual summer workshop for Texas teachers.
