Transforming Traditional Curriculum: Integrating Computer Science Seamlessly with Free Online Tools

This workshop aims to help educators seamlessly infuse computer science concepts into existing lessons—no matter how much previous experience they have with CS or AI. This lively session will be a humorous, interactive, hands-on adventure, designed for teachers of all subjects. Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite lesson plans, which we will collaboratively adapt in real-time to include elements of CS using freely available online tools without diluting core learning objectives. By the end of the session, teachers will walk away fully equipped to begin integrating CS into their classroom.
