The Natural Connections: Why Your Lessons are Already "Computational"

Friday November 6, 2026 TBA

"I don't have time for one more thing." We hear you!

The good news? You're likely already teaching computer science and computational thinking without realizing it.

This low key session helps you "label the plate" rather than add to it. Learn how we've found natural opportunities to showcase computer science and computational thinking within our pre-existing programming with engaging learning in our elementary classrooms. Leave empowered, validated, and ready to show your students they are already computational thinkers and computer scientists.

Small shifts, big impacts!
