Ctrl + Alt + Teach: Integrating CS Across the Core Curriculum
Presenter: Amanda Smith
What if computer science wasn't a separate subject, but a natural part of every lesson you already teach? In this hands-on professional development session, educators will discover how to authentically embed CS state standards into math, science, social studies, and English — in ways that deepen content understanding and spark student engagement.
Through real-world examples (including one found hiding in a science book on spring break!), participants will explore how CS concepts like algorithms, mapping, and computational thinking already live inside the curriculum — just waiting to be uncovered. Leave with practical strategies, cross-curricular connections, and the confidence to bring CS to life in your classroom, no matter what subject you teach.
This is designed for teachers of all tech comfort levels. No coding experience required — just a curiosity for finding CS in the wild.
