Repository
The CS Hub at FDU was established with funding from the New Jersey Department of Education to expand equitable access for all K-12 students and participation in high-quality CS education via professional learning for educators, curricula development, and promoting the expansion of CS activities at NJ schools.
This hub has conducted professional development workshops for teachers from 6 partnering school districts as well as other non-partnering school districts. In total, we have trained 73 teachers from 33 school districts in New Jersey impacting over 7000 students. This web repository includes all the developed curricula (aligned with the 2020 NJSLS-CS standards), lesson plans, and resources that are freely available to all teachers to use and implement in their classrooms.
