CS50 AP Educator Workshop 2020

About

Hello, world! The CS50 AP Educator Workshop is for middle school and high school teachers who would like to teach CS50 (aka CS50 AP) in their own classrooms. The workshop provides teachers with an overview of CS50’s curricular resources and tools. And also enables teachers to connect with and stay in touch with fellow teachers around the world.

Ordinarily, the workshop is held at Harvard University, but this year’s workshop was instead online via Zoom.

The CS50 AP Educator Workshop was followed by the CS50x Educator Workshop, which is for a broader audience of teachers.
