The Colorado School of Mines hosts a yearly high school programming competition. This year, the competition will be April 29th, 2023 and you are invited to bring your HS students to participate! The event will be held in-person on the Mines campus, but teams can also participate remotely via Zoom. Last year we hosted several teams from other states, and even one international team. Team size is limited to 2-4 students, but any number of teams can join. There are also two team tracks: beginner and advanced. The beginner track is designed to be appropriate for teams that are new to programming and have not participated in a programming competition before. The advanced track is intended for teams with more significant experience and a passion for hard puzzles. Registration and attendance are both free, and there are modest prizes for the top teams in each track. More information can be found at our website, including an interest form where you can ask questions and be contacted when full registration goes live in early March. I hope to see you in April! ------------------------------ Rob Thompson, Assistant Teaching Professor Colorado School of Mines

CSTA-LI's January meeting is Thursday, January 26th, 4 - 5 pm. A zoom link will be posted here on Wednesday. We would like to use our monthly meeting to plan some PD that you may be of interest to you. We have thought of several, and are hoping that you can share your ideas and interests. Note that PD offered through CSTA-LI can earn CTLE hours. Some possibilities to kick off the discussion: - CSTA is offering a cybersecurity PD online. We thought it might be fun do the PD together. We'd all register but then get together to watch and discuss the videos and collaborate as we work through the activities.
- There are very few resources that contain sample Computing Innovation questions that we can use with our AP CS Principles classes. We thought it might be useful if some AP CSP teacher (current, past, or future) met and developed our own question sets. This would be a single session, and we could try out each others' questions. We would leave with multiple sample question sets to use with our classes.
- Are these of interest to you? Do you have ideas for other PD that you need or would like to lead?
The rest of the meeting we will focus on AP CS A topics. Bring your ideas for projects that we can share. If there's enough interest, we could spin this off to a PD too. Please join us and help plan the remainder of the year for the Chapter.
