The College of Staten Island Computer Science Department welcomed more than 40 middle school and high school educators from the tri-state area, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, to a Google-funded "Computer Science 4 High Schools" (CS4HS) workshop designed to teach teachers about computational thinking and its use in the classroom.

"We will be exploring what computational thinking is, and how we can apply it to the classroom by doing hands on exercises in SCRATCH, a programming language deigned for K - 12 students, Android app building using MIT's App Inventor software, and Robotics with NXT robots," notes Dr. Susan Imberman, Associate Professor of computer science at CSI.
