CS4HS 2013 at Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA, USA
July 31 - August 2, 2013

The School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University is running its
8th Annual CS4HS (Computer Science for High School) summer workshop
at their main campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania July 31 - Aug 2
(pending funding). Registration is now open and seating is limited:

The workshop includes activities that help high school teachers understand
the breadth of computer science beyond Java programming. (Teachers
in K-8 are welcome to apply if they are teaching computing related
courses and wish to expand their offerings soon.) We provide
hands-on activities that teachers can use in their classrooms to show their
students how to use computational thinking principles to solve problems,
explore the use of robots and other software to solve real-world problems,
and learn more about the various fields of study within computer science
including machine learning and human computer interaction. Teachers will
visit the local Google office in Pittsburgh to speak with Google engineers
about how to help prepare their students for jobs in the computing
industry, and there will be an open forum to discuss ways to improve
the perception and relevance of computing in K-12.

Teachers who wish to attend should apply as soon as possible. A $50
deposit is required to reserve a seat. (This deposit is refunded upon
completion of the workshop.) Free on-campus housing is available
for teachers that are accepted into the workshop and most meals
will be provided. Registration ends June 24, 2013.
