What is CS Ed Week?
Computer Science Education Week is an annual call-to-action to inspire K-12 students to learn Computer Science, advocate for equity, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field.
This event is held nationally during the first full week of December, to align with the birthday of CS Pioneer, Admiral Grace Hopper. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the work your students enrolled in CS classes are doing, engage students who may not have had CS yet (or at least not this year), and build a school culture around computer science and AI.
How Kira Will Be Celebrating
Hour of Code
The CS version of "Drop Everything And Read." Get your students coding with fun hour-long coding activities.
Hackathons
Have students work in teams and work collaboratively to solve a problem or respond to a prompt through code
Student contests
Kira will be holding a multi-media essay contest, and a code creation challenge within our Platypus environment.
Kira Talks
Members of the Kira team will host webinars during school hours to discuss their journey in computer science.
