1 Arkansas School for Math, Sciences and the Arts The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA) has launched Coding Arkansas Future. This no- cost program will blend asynchronous digital learning, live ASMSA instruction and local faculty professional development to increase district access to the new Essentials of Computer Programming course in Fall The experience is intended for districts that have local faculty interested in the class who would benefit from intensive support and guidance in this first year. Teachers will receive preparation for licensure, develop a network of peers, and prepare to instruct the class independently in future years. To this end, ASMSA will offer a no- cost, one- week, residential professional development program on the Hot Springs campus July 26-31, The week of PD is required for partnering teachers in local districts. ASMSA is a registered professional development provider (ID number: ).

3 Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE) Dates: July 5-17, 2015 Time: 8:00am - 5:00 pm Description: Using Python as a primary tool and incorporating multiple platforms and languages for computation, this course aims to develop computational thinking, generate excitement about career paths that utilize computing, and introduce professional tools that foster creativity and collaboration. This course can be a student's first course in computer science, although we encourage students without prior computing experience to start with Introduction to Computer Science. CSE helps students develop programming expertise and explore the workings of the Internet. Projects and problems include app development, visualization of data, cybersecurity, and simulation. This course aligns with the AP Computer Science Principles course. Pre- Engineering: Middle School- Gateway to Technology- Automation and Robotics (AR) Date: July 12-17, 2015 Time: 8:00am - 5:00 pm Description: Students trace the history, development, and influence of automation and robotics as they learn about mechanical systems, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems. Students use the VEX Robotics platform to design, build, and program real- world objects such as traffic lights, toll booths, and robotic arms. Pre- Engineering: Digital Electronics (DE) Date: July 19-31, 2015 Time: 8:00am - 5:00 pm Description: From smart phones to appliances, digital circuits are all around us. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices. Pre- Engineering: Computer Science Intro to Computer Science Date: July 19-24, 2015 Time: 8:00am - 5:00 pm Description: Designed to be the first computer science course for students who have never programmed before, ICS is an optional starting point for the PLTW Computer Science program. Students work in teams to create simple apps for mobile devices using MIT App Inventor. Students explore the impact of computing in society and the application of computing across career paths and build skills and awareness in digital citizenship and cyber- security. Students model, simulate, and analyze data about themselves and their interests. They also transfer the understanding of programming Harding University STEM Center for Mathematics and Science Education Searcy Register escworks: Harding University STEM 3
4 July 13-16: Computer Science for Teachers ESC Math/Science/Technology: Grades 3-12 $600, Registration deadline May 15th This intermediate coding professional development is for those who may be interested in pursuing an endorsement for the introductory computer science classes. This 4- day, professional development will focus on topics that will be on the Computer Science Praxis test required for that endorsement and is designed to help in learning topics addressed on that exam. Topics include technology applications, terminology, concepts, and use; planning and organizing information to teach; programming design and development (flowcharts, pseudocode, etc.); programming language structure and coding (variables, data structures, control structures, algorithms). Javascript, Java, and Scratch will be used during the professional development and Arduino microprocessors will also be utilized for part of the training. Meals will be provided. We must have a minimum of 6 registrations for this course to make. July 24 th Coding for Elementary (code.org) ESC Math/Science: Grades K- 6 This professional development will help teachers teach students the fundamentals of computer science or "coding" through the use of FREE, fun & interactive online puzzles, as well as, hands- on unplugged activities. Computer Science (coding) develops students' computational and critical thinking skills and shows them how to create, not simply use, new technologies. This fundamental knowledge is needed to prepare students for the 21st century, regardless of their ultimate field of study or occupation. All participants will receive a swag bag full of goodies as well as a complete curriculum guide. Teachers of higher levels with little or no coding experience might also benefit from this PD. ***BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology)****Laptops, Chromebooks, Tablets, etc. (There will be a few available for those who do not have access to these in the summer) Henderson State University The STEM Center at Henderson State University Arkadelphia Please register for any of the following professional development opportunities at the website Introduction to Computer Science ESC Session ID# Dates: June and June 19-20, 2015; Time: 8:30-3:30; Grade Levels: K- 12; Cost: $600.00; Location: HSU Campus - Caplinger 217; PD Hours: 24; Lunch is provided Introduction to Computer Science provides professional development for individuals planning to teach or assist with the Essentials of Computer Programming course as outlined by the Arkansas Department of Education s Computer Science Curriculum Framework.
