FOUR CORNERS COMPUTER SCIENCE TRAINING - NAU
You are invited to the third annual 4 Corners Computer Science Convening! The planning committee excitedly invites all K-12 educators and administrators who work directly with Native students to join us for our three-day free conference focusing on computer science education for Indigenous students, hosted by Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ June 22-24, 2025. Please find the flyer attached and feel free to share with your networks. Together, we can make a difference!
Join our 1-day workshop designed for upper elementary, middle, and high school teachers! Discover LEGO® Spike Prime, explore hands-on robotics, and walk away with standards-aligned lesson plans to launch your own club or classroom program.
Cost: Only $150/person, includes lunch. Pay with check or P.O only.
Contact: Call or email Anne Hamlin, Anne.Hamlin@nau.edu, or REGISTER HERE.
Data Fluency Workshop
3-day Professional Learning June 17-18, 2025 + 1 follow-up day in the fall*
This professional learning introduces place-based, data-rich strategies to support data fluency. Individuals with data fluency are confident and able to use and make sense of data, knowing when, how, and why to use data for a specific purpose such as solving problems and communicating ideas. In a place-based approach, learning is anchored in authentic engagement with local phenomena, physical landscapes, and connections to cultures and communities.
Cost: Only $525/person** (regularly $1,000) for three days, thanks to generous support from the CSTL and a NASA grant. Includes transportation from NAU to Hat Ranch on June 17 and lunch daily.

This professional learning is an introduction to a model-based inquiry (MBI) framework for designing NGSS-aligned science units. Practical strategies for and practice in constructing a unit are included. Join us to deepen your understanding of MBI or enhance your knowledge of the MBI curriculum design process!
This professional learning is an introduction to a model-based inquiry framework for designing NGSS-aligned science units, including:
core principles of the MBI framework and Ambitious Science Teaching
engaging students in the practices of science
keeping track of student ideas using public records
This professional learning will introduce the Museum of Science's Youth Engineering Solutions Curriculum for elementary and middle school. The curriculum promotes students to tackle real-world problems, scaffolded by an age-appropriate engineering design process. Challenges channel students' creativity and engage them in engineering and science practices. As they engineer, students use science and computer science concepts and tools, thus deepening their understanding of these disciplines.
This workshop goes beyond learning the curriculum. Participants will gain the skills and resources to lead professional learning workshops of their own. The workshop includes facilitation tips, strategies, and support to confidently share these units and engineering learning framework with other educators.
