Workshop that will enable CS and STEM teachers in the Tri-State Areas to bring authentic Python language instruction to their classroom.

Although many think of computer science as programming, the heart of computer science is developing effective and efficient algorithms to solve real world problems even before they are programmed on a computer. In this fun, hands-on (face-to-face) Saturday outdoor session, we will explore rich computer science problems and how they can be adapted to K-12 students. One example will be graph coloring, also known as the 4 color map theorem. The question is how many colors are needed to color in any arbitrary map (using the minimal amount of colors) such that no 2 adjacent "countries" that share a border are the same color. Participants will experience and receive a lesson plan developed by John Heffernan, an K-12 educator and former software engineer that he developed for his K-12 students. Other examples will also be provided.

Meet virtually with other BootUp districts across the country to exchange ideas. Register: https://bit.ly/microbitmadness

Our speaker will be Stu Steiner, CS professor at Eastern Washington University. He will be talking about the Cybersecurity space here in Spokane.
