GNO STEM is happy to announce a professional development opportunity for teachers of grades K-3 in the area of computer science utilizing research-based, effective instructional methods and promoting problem solving, critical thinking and collaborative learning.
Upon completion of the workshop, teachers will be prepared to deliver computer science instruction during Computer Science Education Week, December 6-12, 2021, as well as throughout the remainder of the school year. 
The 3 hour long professional development will include the following:
•	1 hour training on the use of Bee-Bots, hand-held computers used by young students to learn coding. Teachers will receive a Bee-Bot computer and coding cards to bring back to their class.
•	1 hour training on an “unplugged” activity requiring no computer, where students use coding cards to complete a task.
•	1 hour training in using Tinkercad, a free web app that teaches 3D design, electronics, and coding and exposes young children to thinking three dimensionally while manipulating shapes to create a design.
Teachers participating in the workshop will receive a $100 stipend upon completion of the PD. There is a $20 refundable deposit that will be refunded to teachers upon completion of the PD. Space is limited, so sign up now!
