Event Description

WeTeach_Java is a week-long intensive workshop designed to give new and experienced teachers the tools they need to teach Java in high school. Based on the WeTeach_CS for HS curriculum and aligned to the CS1 TEKS, WeTeach_Java is designed to help teachers take their students beyond the basics of block and scripting languages and into the world of limitless opportunities that working in an industry standard programming language allows. Starting with the basics and adding topics as they are mastered, this course will prepare students to move beyond their first-year experience towards goals such as the College Board AP CS A exam and their post-high school education plans.

The workshop will also include a special preview of the entire WeTeach_CS for HS curriculum. Attendees who complete the entire week will receive a discount code for your school to use on a one year license subscription to the WeTeach_CS for HS curriculum for your campus.

Eligible Attendees –Teachers who want to learn Java and want to teach it. 

Cost – $100 a day, $500 total
