New standards? Not a problem! In an effort to continue to grow 21st-Century skills in the classroom, the New York State Education Department has created new computer science standards for the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Catholic Central School, NY, discovered the perfect coding solution that fits the needs of their Pre-K to Grade 12 students. Photon Education Official’s user-friendly interface and its ability to be implemented into any subject, makes coding skills accessible for every student. Grade 7 Student, Haley Clark shares her perspective of the solution from her classroom experiences, “[In our lessons using Photon,] you are learning technology, which is such a big part of our world, and we all have to adapt and learn it.” This school began using Photon during the 2022-2023 school year. Once September rolls around, they will have implemented the new standards effectively and provided their students with countless opportunities to enhance their coding and robotics skills. What are your Computer Science goals for 2024?

I have come to realise that the idea a lot of teachers and parents have about computer science in STEAM is coding. Computer science doesn’t start and end with coding. STEAM integration isn’t complete without computer science. Computer science is a mesh of all the STEAM areas. Presently, you will find it in arts- an area people never thought computer science could exist- ask me how. Computer science in STEAM isn’t just about coding alone. These three major branches form the framework for teaching computer science in STEAM to students. -Coding -Physical Computing -Robotics Often you will see all of these things coexisting and interacting in a STEAM lab or Makerspace. They all blend together well within a STEAM curriculum, if integrated properly. Knowing the difference between these branches and the umbrella STEAM concept can make it easier to define 21st century experiential and STEAM education for your child, school or classroom while helping you create a more productive space for learning. I can help your school or classroom achieve this STEAMed Up learning.

By nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and introducing coding concepts early on, we lay the groundwork for a generation of students who are not just users of technology but creators and innovators ready to shape the future.

Teachers! How can you teach #Coding for #ScienceFair!? Your middle school student could win Broadcom Coding with Commitment® when they combine #coding or computational thinking with #STEM to solve a community or global problem. Inspire students to identify a local or global problem from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and use #coding to find a solution. Check out Raspberry Pi Foundation for FREE coding resources you can use to learn to code on any type of computer or tablet! Link in bio: rpf.io/make And follow Science Buddies to find ideas for science fair projects that include coding!

First #Medium Blog Alert! In college, many students feel they need to go to every hackathon and coding workshop as they can. That wasn't my experience, by choice. I found there to be many more ways to learn and grow as a professional than consuming tech at each and every turn! #Blog #Tech #ComputerScience #Involvement #College https://lnkd.in/eaKyX8ZG
