CS Everyone Computer Science and AI Microcredentials
We designed our CS Everyone microcredentials to prepare educators to bridge the gap between research and practice in K-12 computer science and AI education.
Teachers engage in flexible asynchronous coursework that translates high-level technical theory into practical pedagogical practice. No matter your comfort level with technology, this University of Florida-developed program equips you with tools to overcome educational barriers and prepares your students to be future-ready.
Successful participants earn a Credly badge, which many districts and schools accept for continuing education credits.
Our K-12 Computer Science Professional Development is by Teachers for Teachers
CS Everyone offers tiered, bite-sized pathways designed to align with a teacher’s schedule and needs. Many existing AI and CS training opportunities are written by developers for developers. We remove the frustration caused by high-level technical theory that lacks a translation into K-12 computer science pedagogy. We welcome teachers who feel they don’t belong in the CS world by offering an educator-centric environment where you don’t need to be a “math person” or “tech person” to succeed.
While webinars often offer “cool tools,” we provide long-term classroom strategies. We know teachers are busy, so we focus on foundational CS concepts first. However, we are also developing courses that provide advanced expertise for those eager to go deeper. Transform your relationship with technology and computational thinking into a strategic asset for your career and students.
Courses take up to 20 hours to complete. Upon finishing, you can request documentation verifying your 20 hours of professional learning.
