David Binnion, a Hillsboro High School information technology teacher, has been selected to participate in the ACTIVATE Summer Program
The School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University has launched a set of three workshops for STEM high school teachers in the northern Appalachian region around Pittsburgh to help them show their students how important it is to understand computational principles, increasing the awareness of the relevance of computer science in their education.
The three workshops are Programming in Alice, Computational Thinking with Python, and Programming in Java.
Computational thinking has revolutionized many disciplines beyond computer science including biology, physics, statistics, finance, and the arts (to name a few). Students who wish to be successful in nearly any endeavor in the 21st century will need to understand principles of computation, so they will need to be exposed to these ideas along with their other courses.
Binnion will be traveling to Pittsburg the second week of July to attend the Computational Thinking course. He attended the Programming in Alice workshop last summer.[[In-content Ad]]
