Share with HS Students: Coding School Offers FREE Courses (start October 8)

The Coding School offering two, no cost two-semester courses in Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing for high school students. These courses aim to ensure that these fields have diverse, equitable, and inclusive future workforces, and these courses accessible to all students thanks to sponsorship from the DoD STEM and companies like Google, IBM, and Microsoft.  They are also hosting orientation and Python training in the weeks prior for any students enrolled before then.

Outdoor Learning Opportunity in Rhode Island

Join this year's Teacher Learning Circle, a program created by the RI non-profit Thrive Outside (sponsored by NuGen Capital Management and a grant from BankNewport). The Teacher Learning Circle (TLC) is designed to gather teachers with an interest in creating outdoor learning opportunities and connect them with local outdoor education experts in a collaborative, supportive, professional learning community.   Participants will explore topics such as best practices in outdoor education, how to use available outdoor spaces for safe and effective outdoor learning, and how teaching in nature benefits the whole child as well as the teacher.  This is a free program and teachers will receive a stipend, and be eligible to receive PLUs for participating in our program.  


This is the second year of the program and it is open to teachers of all ages and subjects, with a primary focus on kindergarten through 8th grade. There are five sessions (9am-12pm on a Saturday) throughout the school year for the same cohort of teachers to gather, learn, share, discuss, and ultimately put into practice teaching outdoors.   Here is a video made at the end of last year’s cohort that highlights some of the teachers’ reflections on participating in the TLC.
