Program Expectations:
Teachers will be eligible for stipends between $360 and $600 depending on the number of participants. Suggested student pre-requisites: *Students should have successfully completed or are in the process of completing an introductory CS course, such as CS Discoveries or AP CSP. *Students should have basic programming skills, ideally in Python. Although students can learn Python while they are practicing the labs or after the initial workshops. *We recommend that students know some basic Linux commands, but again this is something that students can learn after the workshops.

Program for Colorado Teachers:
Our professional learning program is an intensive, highly supportive program designed to prepare educators to provide high quality computer science instruction. The 2021-22 programs will be virtual. The program includes:
Option 1: Apply for a scholarship. Do you teach in a high needs school, or a school with a diverse student population? Is funding for computer science limited in your district? We have limited scholarships available for teachers in Colorado. Our scholarships cover the full $1,500 program fee. Option 2: Check for state funding through the Colorado Department of Education CS Grant opportunity! Use the CDE CS grant to fund participation in the 2021-22 program. Check out information about the grant here: CS Teacher Education Grant and CS Education Grant. New: Connect with your district administrators to explore using ESSER funding for CS PD! Option 3: Pay $1,500 per teacher through your school or district. That’s 50% off the national cost thanks to our generous supporters: The Morgridge Family Foundation and Code.org. Check with your school or districts to see if PD funds are available. Please Note:
