What if answer keys in CS classrooms aren't such a good thing? Are they killing creativity? @jolson_codes puts it well at https://t.co/VoDYuA0Wv6

@UpperlineCode This was the most transformative PD in my entire 10 years as a teacher.

@MathyMcMatherso AMAZING! Well done Dan!

"I have found, over and over, that students who are passionate about their chosen projects will work harder and longer, and learn far more, than students who work on assignments or puzzles that I have given them." https://t.co/JSuAmi83dP

[Upperline Code @UpperlineCode]

@BerriosVRE Yes!

Today was my first day back with students & my first day implementing strategies I lived by this summer with @UpperlineCode. Can I tell you, today was my best first day of teaching in my 11 years as a teacher. See thread for some strategies that made it great.

We are so grateful to partner with @Bootstrapworld @mouse_org @TEALSProgram @UpperlineCode and @UTeachCS to support teachers in learning a variety of #CSed curricula this year!💻🏫❤️

@BerriosVRE This is awesome!

"There are so many people that are not invited into this space, that don’t see people that look like them in this space and so, being able to teach this, specifically at my school, is incredibly important to me and why I’m pushing for a CS track" - Maha Hasen #edtech

[Upperline Code @UpperlineCode]

@alemosie Very cool! Where can we see it?

We are so proud of @UpperlineCode and @BrkThroughTech alum Nalini Ramdeo!

We've always believed that providing early opportunities for underrepresented students to learn code opens doors and builds confidence, but check out Nalini's story for the proof! https://t.co/UOB0oeH2Bk

In 2020, an est. one million computer-programming related jobs went unfilled. Early-stage technical talent development is the key to closing this gap. Help us train the next generation of diverse computer science leaders by referring Upperline Code today. https://t.co/9VCH87hQyv

"If we create welcoming and inclusive spaces for students while they are studying computer science, but then see them transition to workplaces that are still filled with gatekeepers - we’ve only done half the work."

[Upperline Code @UpperlineCode]

Tech companies have long cited the 'pipeline problem' for their lack of #diversity when, in truth, there is talent everywhere. We believe that investing in opportunities for historically marginalized groups, where they are, will transform the #pipeline. https://t.co/jR899w8ruz
