Gathering Evidence & Supporting Claims: A Culturally Relevant Computer Science Workshop for Teachers
Thursday February 13, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am HST
Led by faculty from UH Mānoa, this workshop introduces educators to the concept of culturally-relevant computing, with a focus on the CSTA's core concept Data & Analysis. The workshop aims to promote instruction that values Computer Science (CS) outcomes while simultaneously valuing culture-based outcomes. Using hands-on activities, the wokshop will introduce a replayable simulation designed to create opportunities for learners to collect evidence, analyze data, and make claims. The workshop will be of value to anyone interested in broadening participation in STEM-related fields such as CS.

Artificial Intelligence in Computer Science Education: Implications and Practices
Thursday February 13, 2025 1:10pm - 2:10pm HST
In this presentation, we will discuss the gaps and resources needed to cultivate artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in computer science (CS) education. We will outline educational principles and guidelines for teaching AI literacy in CS, focusing on age-appropriate practices. Additionally, we will explore methods and approaches for fostering AI literacy in K-12 CS education. Further, we will touch on the role of place-based learning in cultivating AI literacy, particularly in Hawaiʻi schools, and how culturally responsive practices can make AI education more relevant and meaningful in Hawaiian learning contexts. The audience will be able to elaborate reflect on the educational practices for sustainable and promising AI literacy teaching and learning in CS education in Hawaiʻi schools.

Emerging Technologies/Academic Esports: A Gateway to Student Credentials/Certifications
Thursday February 13, 2025 2:15pm - 3:15pm HST
Today’s technological challenges shift almost day to day. Global competition for in-demand tech related careers is at an all-time high and will continue to increase as the world ideologies, environmental factors, and high-tech globalization hourishes. Students face challenging and life changing career decisions during formative years and once in secondary education, they are ready to begin mastering skills and earn credentials/certiTcations to enter the workforce and/or pursue higher education. Integrating rigorous STEM curricula, Esports, and academic curricula allows students to enjoy the beneTt of graduating college, career, and military ready. Discover how to maximize your STEM and IT Pathways while garnering support from all stakeholders – business and industry, teachers, administrators, parents, and the community at large.

Conference attendees will learn strategies to maximize STEM & IT Pathway participation and engage students in relevant, rigorous academic curricula in CS courses. Attendees will connect the relevance of emerging technologies and Esports to guide innovative curricula to help students successfully complete industry certiTcations and electronic portfolios. Participants will have an opportunity to gain knowledge of growing IT/STEM industries and compare available curricula that match their state's standards. Participants will have the opportunity to investigate the current markets trends and create programs with recognized industry certiTcations.
