2019 C-START Summer PD Workshop Registration
Start the registration process for a Summer 2019 C-START Computer Science Workshop here!

Cost for each workshop at the Colorado School of Mines is $200/day (for Colorado teachers). This fee includes the  PD, materials, lunch, and parking. In addition, assistance as questions arise when deploying the material learned exists. Details on payment for the workshop will be sent later (to those who complete this form).

Several scholarships are available for Colorado teachers, if the teacher's district/school is unable to cover the cost.  Possibilities for travel scholarships and teacher stipends also exist (again, for Colorado teachers only).

Participants will receive a certificate for the professional development hours attended. Course credit is also possible, depending on interest. We need 3+ teachers interested in credit for a given workshop to offer credit (as the paperwork is cumbersome). The amount of credit (which is an additional fee) depends on the number of hours in the PD training (approximately 0.5 credit per day of training).

See the C-START web page (http://cstart.mines.edu/) or PDF file (https://cstart.mines.edu/Mines-CS-PD.pdf) for more details.

Contact tcamp@mines.edu with questions OR if you are not a Colorado teacher. Workshop options below may be canceled if few teachers enroll.

Introduction to Cryptography: June 24-27 (9am-4pm)
This 4-day workshop aims to provide basic cryptography knowledge, concepts, and skills. High-school students will subsequently be able to (1) use cryptographic techniques for security and privacy protection and (2) be motivated to learn more about cryptography. The training includes lectures, hands-on lab exercises, and group discussions on the following example topics: secret-key cryptography, public-key cryptography, digital signature, and blockchain. This workshop is mainly for computer science high school teachers who are looking to augment their skills (though others are welcome).

CS-FAST Unplugged: July 8-10 (9am-4pm)
A 1-day PD program (K-2: July 8th, 3-4: July 9th, and 5-6: July 10th) designed to teach students computational thinking. CS Unplugged activities are a hands-on approach through games, puzzles, magic tricks, and competitions to teach computer science concepts without the use of a computer. The activities are designed to engage students and serve as a vehicle to learn the foundations of computing without the complication of using the computer: http://cstart.mines.edu/FAST/. This workshop is only for elementary school teachers.
