Pathfinders Summer Institute 2024

 

 

Firia Labs, in partnership with Infosys Foundation USA, is dedicated to offering tuition-free professional development for teachers. This initiative is designed to equip educators with the skills necessary to teach authentic, project-based computer science courses using Python, the industry-standard programming language. 

For the first time, the Pathfinders Summer Institute is extending full scholarships, courtesy of Infosys Foundation USA, to K-12 teachers from public and charter schools, as well as to community librarians and district technology specialists, allowing these additional roles to join.

This year’s workshop from Firia Labs is CodeXplosion: Teach Python Coding with CodeX. It will be hosted virtually on July 8 - July 12 from 9am - 4pm Central time. This includes 40 hours of PD and 4 CodeX.
