Bootstrap @ CSPdWeek '17

What is Bootstrap?At Bootstrap, we craft research-based curricular modules for grades 6-12. Our materials reinforce core concepts from algebra, enabling non-CS teachers to adopt our introductory materials while delivering rigorous and engaging computing content drawn from CS classes at universities like Brown, WPI, and Northeastern.Our introductory class can be integrated into a standalone CS or mainstream math class, and aligns with national and state math standards. And since every child takes math - regardless of gender or background - Bootstrap is one of the largest providers of formal CS education togirls and students of color nationwide.Our other modules explore programming with data structures, physics, lightweight data science, and AP CS Principles. Teachers can mix-and-match content across various modules to fit their needs.[Download a one-page overview of Bootstrap here!]By leveraging the existing network of math teachers, nationwide, Bootstrap is built to scale. We work with school districts across the country, reaching hundreds of teachers and thousands of students each year. Most of our teachers have also attended a Bootstrap Workshop, where they received specialized training to deliver the class.Isn’t all programming mathematical?There are lots of great programming languages out there, but their computational model makes them a poor choice for teaching algebra. Bootstrap uses a language that isactually algebraic, offering rich functionality for animation and multimedia without compromising real, mathematical learning.
