Question 1

What will the event be like?

Accepted Answer

This is a come-and-go event. Stations will be set up around the space. Each station will feature activities to help you explore computer science. Volunteer instructors will guide you in how to use the tools, and then to support you and your student(s) as you think creatively and practice coding.

Question 2

Do I need to bring a computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please bring a laptop if you can. We will have a limited number of laptops ready to borrow on a first come, first served basis. However, having your own laptop will make it easier for you to participate. A tablet will work on some, but not all, stations.

Question 3

Can students attend this event on their own?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a family event. Students must be accompanied by an adult, ideally an adult relative, at all times. This collaborative experience is designed to help you connect with your child around digital technology. We promise adults will have fun, too!

Question 4

Can teachers or other educators attend this event on their own?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We encourage CS advocates and CS-curious educators to come experience a wide range of K-12 CS activities and connect to organizations that support CS in and out of schools. Want to hold a similar event at your campus or district? We are happy to help! adrienne.arroyo@esc13.txed.net

Question 5

Do I have to register to attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our grant-funded event requires that we collect information about our attendees. If you do not register in advance, we will ask you to register on-site. Registering before May 8  helps us ensure we have enough volunteers and materials. We greatly appreciate your advance registration!
