It’s that time of year again! Time to start planning your summer PD! We will be hosting a free, online/virtual professional development course for teachers who will be using the MakeCode AP Computer Science Principles curriculum in the fall. There are 2 different weeks we’ll be hosting the workshop. Please see AP Computer Science Principles with Microsoft MakeCode to register!

Do we need a Github Educator account to participate? I currently teach online through Outschool and do not believe Github will validate me as I am not employed through a public school directly.
Do I need to register both workshops or either one is sufficient to teach AP CSP?
Will MS provide the course materials for teaching AP CSP throughput the 2024-2025 academic year?
Thanks
Hi @ThirdShiftTeacher - if you attend the training we can give you a direct link for the educator materials and “verify” you as an educator that way!
Hi @edatcodesky - you only need to register for 1 session. These are the same workshops, just offered at different times during the summer for people’s convenience. Course materials are available at https://microsoft.github.io/makecode-csp.
What are the times of the workshops for both sessions?
We are doing something a bit different this year in that there’s a lot more asynchronous, independent learning time in the course. We are offering office hours at the end of each of the days for questions and debriefing. But long-answer to say that the times for the live calls will vary each day.
