Virtual
Limited Capacity seats available
Discover the CodeHS resources available for teaching middle school computer science with our newest course "Tech Apps and Coding." This course provides a comprehensive computer science curriculum fully aligned to the latest CSTA Middle School Standards. Educators will discover a cohesive progression of technology applications, computational thinking, and coding experiences that build foundational skills and prepare students for future success in computer science and AI.

In this hands-on, three-hour workshop, participants will explore how to design and customize a middle school computer science course using CodeHS and the newly released “Tech Apps and Coding” curriculum. Built to align with the latest CSTA Middle School Standards, this comprehensive course blends technology applications, computational thinking, digital literacy, and coding experiences into a cohesive learning pathway that prepares students for future success in computer science, artificial intelligence, and related fields.

Attendees will experience the platform from a student’s perspective by navigating modules, lessons, and interactive activities, engaging with the CodeHS IDE, and exploring a variety of learning experiences that support diverse student needs. Participants will also learn how to leverage tools such as the Realtime App and Sandbox to monitor progress, support engagement, and create productive learning environments.

The workshop will provide practical opportunities to customize course content and assignments to meet local goals and student needs. Educators will explore available curriculum resources, including syllabi, lesson plans, problem guides, and instructional supports that streamline implementation while allowing flexibility for personalization. Participants will gain experience modifying assignments and building a course structure that aligns with their instructional priorities. In addition, educators will learn efficient strategies for reviewing student work and providing meaningful feedback through Code Review and communication tools. These tools help teachers assess student understanding, encourage iteration, and support mastery-based learning in both technology applications and coding activities.

By the end of the session, participants will have a deeper understanding of the Tech Apps and Coding curriculum, confidence navigating and customizing the CodeHS platform, and practical strategies for creating an engaging, standards-aligned middle school computer science experience that supports all learners.
