CodeHS is proud to partner with the Indiana Department of Education to support computer science educators across the state through the Designing for Impact Next Level Computer Science Grant. This initiative aims to expand access to quality computer science education for all Indiana students by providing teachers with valuable resources and professional development opportunities.

In preparation for the 2024-25 school year, Indiana K-12 computer science and STEM teachers are invited to participate in free professional development workshops. These in-person workshops will be hosted in various locations across the state, covering topics from Efficient Lesson Planning with AI to Teaching Indiana Computer Science.

“By providing these professional development opportunities to educators across the state of Indiana, we aim to equip teachers with the knowledge and tools to run engaging computer science classes that foster creativity, critical thinking, and innovation,” said Evelyn Hunter, VP of Curriculum at CodeHS.

Teachers who participate in an upcoming workshop will receive:

• CodeHS Pro License for the 24-25 school year
• $200 stipend upon completion
• Annual CodeHS PD Membership including on-demand webinars, mini PD courses, and live events throughout the year
• Certificate of participation for PGP points
