How can we reimagine computer science education when the community takes the lead? Join the Educating All Learners Alliance (EALA) for an inspiring webinar featuring Code In Motion by SPARKS, a project dedicated to bringing computer science (CS) to elementary students experiencing homelessness.
Moving beyond traditional models, this initiative empowers community members to serve as compensated CS Community Coaches. This creates learning experiences rooted in trust, shared expertise, and the unique strengths of the community.
In this webinar, we will hear directly from the leaders and coaches behind this work as they share how mobile, relational practices can expand access to technology for students in out-of-school settings. We’ll also explore:
- The Power of Local Leadership: How community-led initiatives challenge traditional educational expansion models.
- Adaptive Implementation: Strategies for teaching and learning that honor the experiences of students facing housing insecurity or resource instability.
- Grounding Access in Dignity: The importance of building educational programs on a foundation of shared expertise and mutual respect.
Join us to see how Code In Motion by SPARKS is creating new pathways for students and reimagining what is possible in computer science education.
