CSP + arts = Artful coders

Carol Yarbrough noticed a difference in her computer science students when Alabama began to allow the CSP and AP Computer Science courses to count as a math requirement for graduation in 2013. The teacher at the Alabama School of Fine Arts had previously interacted mainly with students in the math and science track. After the policy change, those focused on the arts started signing up and ignited their passion for computer science.

Broadening opportunities for computer science learning

On December 10, 2014, the CS10K Community hosted a #CSEdWeek Twitter chat as a follow-up conversation from the College Board’s webinar about broadening opportunities for students in computer science (see here for a recording of the webinar). We invited teachers of Exploring Computer Science (ECS) and Computer Science Principles (CSP) to help us reflect on the successes and challenges of computer science education.
