Episode 74: Bringing CS Standards to Life
With the new school year upon us, we're talking about CSTA standards and how they can be applied to the classroom environment. Join Kelly and Sean as they talk through ways to plan, deliver, and assess CS student standards.
The Computer Science Teacher Association (CSTA) provides student standards for learning as well as professional development standards for instructions. For example, there are 23 standards for grades 6-8 that cover everything from algorithms & programming to inclusionary culture to networks and internet.
How do you go from a published standard to an engaging lesson that raises student learning?

- Crunchy Engineering of Pringles' Hyperbolic Paraboloid Shape | IE — "Once you pop, the fun don't stop", is the slogan of the popular American chip brand Pringles. But if you're an engineer, you might be interested in Pringles for more than just their addictive crunch and taste.
In fact, Pringles have been designed in the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid.Standards | Computer Science Teachers Association — K-12 teaching standards for Computer Science (19) Alex (Mengyao) Wang | LinkedIn — Talks about #python, #technology, #datascience, #machinelearning, and #artificialintelligence Teaching Python - Blog - Hacking the Classroom Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Part 2 — In Part 1 of this series, we hacked the hand sanitizer dispenser and got it talking to Home Assistant as a binary sensor. For this part, we'll work on a couple of useful automations in HA that will collect data and make it fun for students to sanitize.
By the end of this part, you should have a sensor that shows today's dispenses, an automation that makes Alexa speak and some lights flash, and even an interface to a local MQTT broker to send and receive data with other devices.
