Callysto: Bringing Jupyter and Computational Thinking to the K-12 Curriculum
Cybera and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences are participating in the new national CanCode program, to develop coding and digital skills from kindergarten to grade 12. With the launch of the Callysto project, we are creating tools and frameworks that help teachers bring computational thinking into their math, science, social sciences, and humanities courses - giving students the analytical skills needed to comprehend the digital world. Leveraging the Jupyter 'All-in-One' Science Platform to put friendly yet powerful compute tools in classroom settings, we are creating showcase modules and workshop training for K-12 teachers to incorporate data and computing into the broad curriculum. At this presentation, you will learn about how Callysto will: Bring computational thinking to classrooms through K-12 teacher training Create opportunities to participate in free workshop training sessions and content creation Help K-12 teachers gain public recognition for participating in this educational training project Note: This presentation is related to our 2017 BCNET presentation on "Bringing The Thunder: Deploying Jupyter Notebooks For Research, Education, And Innovation."

Developing Competencies for the Future of Data and Computing: The Role of K-12
Skills in computing and data are critical for students to thrive in a data-driven world. While efforts to expand learning in these areas have grown, opportunities to participate are unevenly distributed and lack coherence across grades and subjects. Our new report identifies seven shared competencies for data and computing and how they align with existing STEM standards and classroom practice. Through addressing curriculum, teacher preparation, professional learning, technology access, assessment, and system-level coordination, the report calls for sustained, coordinated action to ensure that all students have meaningful opportunities to develop literacy in data and computing.
Keynote: Bridging Gaps with Code: Transforming K12 Education with Jupyter Everywhere - I. Martinez
Learning Online | Christina Cacioppo
That we’ll learn school-ish things on the internet seems inevitable, but most people seem not to learn very much or very quickly online; Sebastian Thrun admitted as much in a Fast Company interview a few months ago. To figure out how computers actually could help people learn, I spent the summer teaching students and building software.

Foundations of Data Science for Students in Grades K-12
On September 13 and 14, 2022, the Board on Science Education at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop entitled Foundations of Data Science for Students in Grades K–12. Speakers and participants explored the rapidly growing field of K-12 data science education, by surveying the current landscape, surfacing what is known, and identifying what is needed to support student learning, develop curriculum and tools, and prepare educators. To support these conversations, four papers were commissioned and discussed during the workshop. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
