Learn how to bring computer science to any classroom

The Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN) offers professional development to all Ohio teachers looking to bring the critical ideas of computer science and computational thinking to their students. 

No matter the grade level, OSLN offers programs that can inspire students, connect to relevant standards, and build life-changing skills.

“Coding is today’s language of creativity. All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead consumers of computer science.”

Program cost

The facilitation, materials, and supports cost $2,000 per participant, across all four programs. OSLN is seeking funding that could potentially provide scholarships for this program.

In previous years, the network has offered scholarships to some teachers who otherwise would not have been able to attend thanks to support from Code.org, Battelle, and the State of Ohio. Scholarships are made available first to participants serving economically disadvantaged students, diverse student populations, or schools serving rural communities.

Interested educators should sign up today and apply when applications open to be considered for the maximum potential financial aid.
