Hour of Code 2024 | CSEd Botswana
The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to Computer Science
Exponential growth @csedbotswana : from 20 schools last year to over 200 schools and 400+ teachers participating in Botswana's National Hour of Code, with exciting pictures! For more, check this site which includes the Minister's speech: csedbotswana.org/hour-of-code-2…
The Botswana Digital and Innovation Hub (BDIH) is a proud sponsor of the upcoming #HourOfCode by @csedbotswana in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and @UBBotswana.
The Hour of Code will happen tomorrow. This year marks our 2nd Hour of Code event, all in efforts to broaden participation and raise awareness in the Botswana community about CSEd to drive change and support. We could not have done it without facilitators and industry partners.
@EthelTshukudu and I had a great chat on @Gabzfmnews today! We spoke about fostering computing among Batswana youth, weaving culture into coding activities, and the impact of early computing initiatives in underrepresented communities. #HourOfCode It was my first time on-air!
Thank you to @HelloWorld_Edu for featuring my article on bridging the gap in CSEd between developed and developing countries. As computer science education grows worldwide, concerns about equity emerge. What does this mean for Africa? Learn more: raspberrypi.org/hello-world.
Thrilled to have hosted Alison Clear, Chair of SIGCSE, in Botswana for a week! Her public lecture on computing curricula, competency-based learning, and industry alignment sparked invaluable conversations about the future of CSed and the need for Africa's participation.
I am thrilled that Alison Clear, chair of SIGCSE will be delivering a public lecture at our University, also covering the latest directions in csed. This event is incredibly timely, as our country(Botswana) is just beginning to embrace csed, with many changes on the horizon.

In collaboration with #CSforALL, @KaporCenter made a 2023 CSforALL Commitment to launch CSforOakland, a program that seeks to revolutionize #CSEd and advocate for a culturally inclusive and socially equitable approach to computing for students in Oakland. #BHM
Throughout #BlackHistoryMonth, hear from teachers, students, and others on what it means to be Black in #computerscience and STEM education. Ruthelen Robinson is a CTE STEM-Engineering educator for @SBISD. Read her story: buff.ly/4bshJJt
We are thrilled to announce a BIGGER & BETTER Hour of Code event this March, with over 200 schools and 400 teachers already registered! The surge highlights the growing importance of CS Education! We welcome inquiries and collaboration opportunities here: csedbotswana.org/contact

CSEdBotswana aims to establish a systemic and sustainable process that engages all stakeholders in developing and implementing computer science education throughout Botswana
Excited and honored to welcome Emma @dosesofem, pursuing her Ph.D. at @UMich, specializing in multilingualism in CSED as part of Engineering Education research. She joins us for an internship at @csedbotswana, to broaden participation in CSEd. Looking forward to working with her!
Thrilled about upcoming initiatives, we engaged in a 3-day workshop with computer studies teachers to gather advice for culturally relevant content in Setswana language for the Hour of Code. Exciting outcomes to be unveiled soon, leveraging the Hedy PL by @Felienne.
We're happy to showcase the incredible team of teacher volunteers who are leading the way in bringing programming education to some junior and senior secondary schools all across Botswana!
Updates: @CSEdBotswana has launched 20 coding clubs in different Botswana regions! as we await and hope for a new CS curriculum. Grateful to the teachers who are early adopters of our efforts. Send DM if you want to help. This is some of us! @IAmKatharineC #broadeningpartcipation
We are excited that the recent CSEdBotswana summit has been covered fully in the Sunday Standard newspaper. Grab a copy to understand how we plan to broaden participation in Computer Science Education in Botswana.
We also remember the moments of laughter and friendship, as we enjoyed the delicious meal and entertainment (by the traditional group) at the CSEdBotswana Summit Gala dinner @Felienne @drfletcher88 @JFCM2 @quintincutts @CrystalFrank01 @TebbyV
We really enjoyed your visit here to Botswana. Thank you for giving the keynote on the need for CS education at the summit @quintincutts. The participants gained valuable insights that will undoubtedly benefit us moving forward with the CSEdBotswana initiative.
