Welcome to CS Discoveries: Introduce yourself

Hi Everyone, My name is Laurena Mott and I will be teaching 6th grade computer science this year. I am moving up to middle school from being a 4th grade teacher for 15 years. I am excited about the change and the chance to use Code.org with my students. I only have my students for one trimester (only 30 days!), which means I need to find a way to fit as much in as possible. I am mainly focusing on computational thinking. I was thinking that Unit 1 would be a great place to start! If anyone has any suggestions, I am open to any!

I teach grades 6, 7, & 8
The first three for sure, then we’ll see.
I’m excited for some auto-grading support.

I work with the Prairie View A&M Cooperative Extension Program.
I work primarily with grades 3 through 8.
I have taught Fundamentals level C but I am looking forward to expanding to include all the CS Discoveries Units as well.

Good morning! My name is Brenda Songy and I teach primarily high school freshmen with a sprinkling of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. I plan to teach the first 3 units of CS Discoveries this year, and I would like to add Machine Learning to give the kids a hands-on experience. Now that I have one year under my belt, I can move a little faster through the curriculum and I would like to introduce the kids to 3-D printing.
