Social discussion of CS in K-12

[Bertram Bruce <chipbruce AT mac.com>]

Good question. 

Yes. I had done that in earlier semesters and plan to do so again. It would 
not be a typical after school (e.g., 4-7 pm) class since I don’t live in the 
CU area anymore. But it could be done online, or in an intensive summer 
format, say, one-two weeks in June.

By the way, I’ll probably be teaching a similar course in the Boston area.
