Launching Computer Science will prepare educators to include computer science standards into their regular curriculum.

Computer Science Integration will help teachers explore Computer Science and learn how to integrate the VA CS SOLs into core curriculum with students.

Computer Science Coaching is designed for teachers and instructional leaders and prepares them to lead professional development about the Computer Science SOLs.

Middle School Elective: Computer Science Discoveries prepares educators to teach the Code.org elective Computer Science Discoveries by unpacking the modules they will use in the classroom while developing a deeper understanding of computer science and computational thinking.

Middle School Elective (CSD) Part II further prepares educators to teach the Code.org elective Computer Science Discoveries by unpacking the last four modules while developing a deeper understanding of computer science and computational thinking.

Computer Science Foundations introduces educators to the Exploring Computer Science (ECS) curriculum. ECS is a full-year introductory computer science course that prepares high school students for future study in a variety of computer science domains, including cybersecurity, web design, and networking. ECS is funded by the National Science Foundation.

Programming Using Scratch I introduces educators to the Scratch programming tool and block-based programming, basic understanding of programming concepts, and understand best practices for integrating programming into K-8 classrooms.

Programming Using Scratch II builds upon participant's knowledge of Scratch programming tools and concepts as well as introduce and expand their knowledge on using variables, operators, sensing blocks, and My Blocks within the programming platform.

Programming Using Python I introduces educators to introductory Python coding principles tools and resources, expanding their knowledge of how to code and how to teach coding to novice CS students.

This course builds upon participants' prior knowledge of the Python coding language, tools, and concepts, covering functions with parameters and return values, lists/dictionaries, and iteration.

Project Growing Up Thinking Scientifically (GUTS) is a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) program for middle school students serving schools and districts nationally. Growing up thinking scientifically means learning to look at the world and ask questions, develop answers to the questions through scientific inquiry, and design solutions to their problems.

Programming with Java introduces educators to the Java coding language through hands-on, creative programming using the Processing framework.
