Launch_K5 CS is a dynamic 3-day hybrid workshop designed for K-5 educators and aligned with the new K-5 Technology Applications TEKS implemented in the 2024-2025 school year. This workshop integrates computational thinking, computer science, cybersecurity, and AI into core curricula, offering educators a unique opportunity to enhance their teaching practices.
Discover a wealth of K-5 lessons, both unplugged and plugged, ready to be integrated into your classrooms. We will also take time to explore block-based coding and physical computing – essential skills for fostering a generation of learners prepared to thrive in the modern world.
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will receive a physical computing set to take back to their classrooms. K-2nd grade teachers will receive a set of 2 Vex 123 robots, and 3rd-5th grade teachers will receive a set of 10 micro:bits.
As a trainer, you'll receive all necessary resources and materials to conduct training for K-5 educators and earn a compensation of $3,000 (paid to individual or entity) by successfully training a minimum of 30 educators by the end of December 2025.
This opportunity is available at no cost, and you'll receive either a K-2 or 3-5 physical computing package, along with other resources to use in the classroom. To participate, you must work at a Texas school that serves K-5 students.
