WeTeach_CS Summit 2026

Spark curiosity and build foundational computer science concepts in your K-5 classroom! This hands-on session is designed specifically for elementary educators, providing practical strategies and ready-to-use resources for integrating coding and computational thinking into any subject. Participants will rotate through engaging stations to experience a range of cutting-edge educational robotics and accessible hardware, including Ozobot, Makey Makey, Micro:bit, and VEX123. The session will also highlight the power of "unplugged" activities to teach core concepts without a device. Attendees will leave with lesson ideas to use in their classrooms.

CS4TX is the advocacy organization leading the work with the Texas Legislature, SBOE, SBEC, and other agencies to assure that teachers have funding for professional learning, getting certified, and assuring that CS Education is represented in Texas.

Can iambic pentameter be Pythonic? Of course! Join us to explore the many intersections between Computational Thinking and Shakespearean literature. We will decompose some Shakespearean text, investigate the patterns and abstraction therein, and learn about the algorithms that Shakespearean actors have used for centuries to execute the Bard’s programs from page to stage. The unplugged activities included in this session are equally suitable for English Literature, Computer Science, and Theatre classes.
