📌 Important!  Due to restrictions in the Educator Workforce Investment Grant (EWIG) in Computer Science, funding is limited to public K-12 school educators. As a result, private and independent school educators, expanded learning educators, pre-service teachers, and substitute teachers are not eligible for Summer of CS participation or a stipend. This includes the CSPDWeek workshops being offered in Anaheim, June 23-27, 2025. These eligibility requirements align with Assembly Bill 185, which prioritizes professional learning for teachers and paraprofessionals in public schools.

Commitment: 18 hours of professional learning including a 3-day regional workshop of your choice happening in June 2025.  This 18-hour time commitment is necessary to fulfill full and active participation. 

Participants will have access to:

• High-quality, no-cost professional learning facilitated by subject matter experts

• Teacher-ready resources that align with the California K-12 CS Standards

• A community of educators who are passionate about teaching CS content

• A daily stipend to compensate your time for full and active participation in your Summer of CS workshop
