This summer, WeTeach_CS is bringing Bootstrap back to Texas—don’t miss out!
Bootstrap provides an excellent introduction to computer science concepts, especially for students who are underrepresented in the CS classroom, and also gives math teachers a new way to connect students with algebraic thinking. Always a popular offering, WeTeach_CS will host two 3-day workshops this summer. Sellouts of Bootstrap workshops are not uncommon, so make your plans to attend and register today!
Deadline Approaching!
If you want to make Bootstrap part of your summer plans, you need to act now! Registration for the Bootstrap workshop in San Antonio (June 11-13) will close on Monday, June 4. Register today for the San Antonio workshop.
