Upcoming Bootstrap Workshops

From the CSTA announcement list.


Bootstrap is a curricular module for students ages 12-16, which teaches algebraic and geometric concepts through computer programming. In this workshop you’ll Bootstraplearn how videogame programming can be directly aligned with algebraic and geometric concepts. Work with your peers to discuss classroom experiences, and spend the day in your students' shoes. You'll be able to debrief with other teachers, talk pedagogy with the trainers, and try out the materials and software firsthand. And finally, you'll go home with a video game that you created! Choose the one that best meets your needs.

San Francisco, CA :: May 17th

We're offering a one-day Bootstrap infosession, hosted by Upward Bound at USF.
