Sacred Heart School partnered with the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Educational Initiatives, which houses The Center for STEM Education, and South Bend Code School. The partnership stems from The Center for STEM Education’s CREST program, where teachers participate in four, day-long professional development sessions. Director Matt Kloser said in a news release, “The overarching purpose of this program is to improve both the school-wide vision of computer science and to equip Catholic school teachers with new instructional skills in computer science education.” The recent visit to the University of Notre Dame on Jan. 23 marked the second of four engagements Sacred Heart teachers and staff will take as the school continues to advance its science and technology curriculum. Teachers and staff are equipped with plugged activities – those that use a computer or tablet – as well as unplugged activities – those that don’t use technology – to help kids gain knowledge related to data and information, computing devices, programs, networking and cultural impact.
