Would your students enjoy exploring datasets or  

making simple videogames as part of learning  

math, science, or social studies? 

Consider a Bootstrap professional  

development workshop this July! 

Bootstrap provides curricular modules for integrating data science and math-aligned coding activities into middle- and high-school math and science classes (data science can also be used in  social studies). We’re one of the nation’s largest and longest-running projects on integrating  computing with other disciplines. We’re rated Accomplished by STEMWorks, a national  assessor of STEM-oriented curricular outreach projects. 

Our professional development workshops assume no prior computing experience from  teachers. Our materials use concepts from mathematical modeling and data analysis, which we  express in small amounts of code, to complete hands-on projects. Our workshops teach you the  modeling, data analysis, and computing needed for these projects. Most of our teachers are new  to computing, data analysis, and modeling, and leave PD surprised by what they can do. 

Teachers have used our materials in many ways: put them at the beginning of the year to get  students re-engaged in learning, integrate them into regular lessons to reinforce math concepts or  deepen studies through data, use the projects at the end of the year to help students apply what  they’ve learned while exposing them to computing. Our team will help you figure out what will  work best for you and your students. 

Bootstrap: Algebra (modeling): July 19-23, 10:30 – 4:30 EST, $750 per teacher

Bootstrap: Data Science: July 26-30, 10:30 – 4:30 EST, $750 per teacher 

Registration opens April 28 at: https://www.bootstrapworld.org/workshops/ 

The two workshops are independent content-wise. Each consists of two 2.5-hour sessions each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Sessions will combine short instructional  segments and small-group work (in Zoom and Zoom breakout rooms).Participants will need  internet access and a device (e.g., computer, laptop, Chromebook) sufficient for engaging with  video in Zoom calls, participating in an online discussion forum, and using a programming tool  within a web browser. Links will be provided prior to the workshop. 

The workshop fee includes all teaching materials, an initial set of student paper-and-pencil  workbooks, and long-term support from Bootstrap staff and fellow teachers.
