UCSD-TV highlighted the work San Diego Unified Teachers from Clairemont, Hoover, Kearny and Mission Bay did with the UCSD Computer Science and Engineering department to learn how coding can help students strengthen their math skills.
Watch the CSE episode “The Bootstrap Program”.
Episode description: Teachers are learning how coding can be an exciting and useful way to teach math. San Diego Unified School District teachers spent a week of their summer at a workshop called Bootstrap with professors from UC San Diego Computer Science and Engineering. Bootstrap is a way to teach core courses, from math to social studies, using computer programming. There is even a lesson plan that lets students create their own video game. Teachers say it could be a fun new way to help their students succeed.
