Application deadline: April 30

This hands-on PD teaches you how to integrate Python and computational thinking into your curriculum - no prior coding experience required.

Plus, we will cover AI activities exploring diversity and responsible AI use.

In 30 hours of live instruction plus 10 hours of asynchronous learning, you'll go from Python basics to advanced creative coding, with a full year's worth of ready-to-use lesson plans, assessments, and projects aligned to CSTA and ISTE standards.
