Through generous grant support from the National Science Foundation’s EPSCoR program, we are assembling a workgroup of K20 educators interested in building and distributing a 9-week curriculum for Arkansas’ middle school coding block. The goal of the multi-year project is to help struggling teachers meet the state requirement and provide rich training to K12 students.
The initial convening of this working group will be at ASMSA in Hot Springs on September 27 – 28, 2021. While you may join the initial meeting remotely via Zoom, meals for both days and housing for the night of September 27th will be provided to those traveling to Hot Springs for the meeting.
Please complete this application and registration form to express interest in joining the working group and to register for the September meeting.
Small stipends will be paid to those eligible for their documented contributions to the curriculum development project each year. Additional details about the project timeline and deliverables will be discussed at the initial meeting.
