Computer Science Education Week is an annual event meant to inspire K-12 students to engage with computer science, advocate for equal access to computer science education, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field of computer science! Each year, ADE celebrates CSEdWeek through a series of mini "byte-sized" professional development opportunities that aim to celebrate computer science education in our state and advocate for the continued growth of CS opportunities for K-12 students across Arizona.
See below for the links to the session recordings and accompanying presentations from this year's CSEd Week Byte-sized PDs.
