CSTA Chapter Workshop - Gabby Meis - Description: Dive into the Quantum World with Qubit by Qubit: learn about an exciting new technology set to revolutionize the world as we know it, quantum computing, from leading K-16 Quantum Education Experts, Qubit by Qubit (QxQ). QxQ will also explain their offerings including: virtual classroom workshops with quantum researchers, full classes in quantum computing and artificial intelligence, and professional learning opportunities for Summer 2023. About QxQ: Qubit by Qubit is a program of The Coding School (TCS), a 501(c)(3) tech education nonprofit dedicated to empowering the next generation through computer science education. Founded in 2014, TCS has become a global leader in emerging technology education, teaching over 40,000 students and educators in 125 countries with over 50% of students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds. TCS’ flagship program Qubit by Qubit offers a wide-range of first-of-its-kind programming; from classroom workshops to a full-year high school course, Qubit by Qubit has introduced 15,000 students to quantum computing since 2020. Regarded as an international quantum education expert, Qubit by Qubit is partnered with a number of leading academic institutions, companies, and organizations, including IBM Quantum, Google Quantum AI, and the White House’s National Q-12 Education Partnership.

CSTA Chapter Workshop - Joel Harvey eSports Coach - What is happening with eSports in our area, how can you get your students involved? Discuss current trends and ask questions of the new eSports coach from Columbia Basin College Where: Zoom - https://columbiabasin.zoom.us/j/4441546546	CBC, K-12, and PNNL	January 11th at 4pm Pacific
CSTA Chapter Workshop - Dan White Roboco - Use Roboco for computer science instruction! RoboCo is a new sandbox game (developed by Filament Games in partnership with FIRST) that teaches robotics and engineering. In the game, players build and program custom robots to solve whimsical challenges. This workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of the game and offer best practices for teaching with it, including how to run your very own robotics competition! We'll also show the in-game scaffolding for new players, the robot building functionality, how to attach sensors to a robot, and how to program a robot to solve a challenge using Python. At the end, we'll show some examples of advanced creations and programming solutions. For more information, check out www.roboco.co Where: Zoom - https://columbiabasin.zoom.us/j/4441546546	CBC, K-12, and PNNL	February 8th at 4pm Pacific

CSTA Chapter Workshop - Joshua Bee - Programming with physics and automation - This is a reboot of a workshop I did several years ago. You will learn how to create a moving ball drawn on the screen. We will apply wind and gravity forces to this moving ball to simulate physics and real word behaviors. If you want to know a little bit more on how animations, automation and video games are made your welcome to come in. This is an excellent lesson to get students engaged in programming and physics.
