RIT hosts computer science workshop for high school teachers

Rochester Institute of Technology is hosting a workshop to help area high school teachers looking for ways to keep up-to-date about trends in computer science or provide guidance to computer-savvy high school students.
Kluever, a software engineer at Google, is the keynote speaker. He will talk about the life of a software engineer and the variety of computing-science applications used at Google.

Teachers attending will have the opportunity to explore the real-world computing applications and learn creative and interactive ways of teaching computing to help build new course modules.

“RIT is one of only a handful of universities in the nation to receive funding from Google to host a workshop like this. More than 35 teachers from area high schools have already signed up for this program,” says Dhireesha Kudithipudi, assistant professor of computer engineering and one of the workshop organizers.
