Description Program Srvc AccomThe Computational Thinking Initiative (CTI) is a K-12 educational program for teaching and learning computational thinking, primarily through extracurricular activities (clubs, virtual clubs, camps, teacher training and standalone seminars/events). The "AI League" is geared towards middle school students and the summer camps are geared towards high school students. Our mission is to swiftly empower a broad spectrum of today's youth to become leading-edge computational thinkers. We want graduates of our programs to embrace the opportunities to combine their imaginations and modern computation to better understand the physical, social, intellectual and cultural worlds they inhabit and, as appropriate, develop ways to improve them. We will do so in ways that span communities and previous exposure to computation. In 2018, we reached 375 students and 64 educators through a combination of single-instance AI Adventures, AI League after-school clubs, camps and professional development courses.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
