The Who, What, Where & Why of CS PD Week!
This year, Computer Science Professional Development Week (CS PD Week) will be June 12 – 16, 2023 at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. The week will be an opportunity for educators across the state to gather together, participate in professional learning to help to expand computer science learning and be shown appreciation.
Organizers are working to take away common barriers to joining this in-person event, including providing stipends, lodging and several meals during the week.
The intention is for CS PD Week to rotate around the state each year. Summer 2024 is being planned for the Western part of Iowa.
