This is Project GUTS' PD that is part of the PUMP-CS PD Summits.

The course is designed to integrate Computer Science (CS) concepts into existing middle school science classes, especially in contexts in which a standalone CS course is not available. Helps students from all different backgrounds to engage in scientific inquiry by investigating topics of interest to their local communities and sharing their experiments and findings.

The Madison Alabama City School district is sponsoring a 3-day Project GUTS seminar for their middle school science teachers.  The online workshop will help teachers meet the new Alabama standards on incorporating computer science into regular education science classes.  

Facilitators are Susan Gibbs and Jennifer Cordova.

Project GUTS’ CS in Science workshop offers interactive instruction from an experienced GUTS facilitators including an introduction to computer science, pedagogy, curriculum overview, and practice with the StarLogo Nova programming environment. The CS in Science curriculum features: use of a block-based programming environment on the web (slnova.org); daily lesson plans for teachers, videos, and supplemental extension resources; a modular design that allows for a variety of classroom implementations; and alignment to national science (NGSS) and computer science (CSTA) standards.

Project GUTS Online Professional Development Course 2017 will be offered with facilitation on June 5 - 30, 2017.  In this online course you will experience computer modeling and simulation of complex adaptive systems as a learner then reflect on how you will implement the curriculum and modify it to meet the needs of your students. 

Join us as we talk with Cristian Rizzi about teaching with Project GUTS in Argentina.  Cristian offered a version of our Project GUTS MOOC in Spanish last year and has shared with us many of the materials he translated and developed for Spanish speakers.
