Social discussion of CS in K-12

I agree.  I think a program that spans the two schools would be really powerful as Kenwood feeds into Jefferson. This model, if we are looking at it as a sustainable endeavor, has the potential to impact students/families over many years.  There is a ton of growth potential there...

I would certainly love to see Kenwood's program expanded to Jefferson.  What can I do to help?

If we had $7500 to repeat or scale what we've been doing at Kenwood to bridge the home/school divide through the Demystifying Technology workshops, how might we spend it? Buy Raspberry Pi's to distribute instead of, or in addition to, recycled computers? Or maybe use the RPi or some upgrade or peripheral as incentive to bring parents from previous Demystifying Tech workshops back for a second workshop and to encourage greater collaboration with teachers? Expand to additional schools?

      As I mentioned at the last consortium meeting, I have a small amount of funds available for projects on sustainable electronics this spring. Your school project was of interest to us and in line with our goals in our Sustainable Electronics Initiative.  I have attached a brief description of our Sponsored Research program and information about submitting a proposal to me.  The seed grants can be for up to $7,500 and are to be completed in FY14 which ends June 30, 2014 (we can discuss if this does not meet your planned timeframe).  We will be having a broader RFP for FY15 which should be out by the end of Feb.  That will include Sustainable Electronics as well as other topics. I will be encouraging other consortium members to review that and see if they have projects to submit for that larger program.

 

      Please let me know if you are interested in submitting a proposal for your Kenwood school project, or including other schools or groups.  Please contact me with any questions.

 

Best regards,

Nancy
