SIA CLASSROOM

SIA Classroom offers a free game design unit that can be taught as part of a computer science, arts, or technology-geared classroom.*

​

• A 20-hour game design unit for any class

• Includes free teacher training + a $1,000 stipend for teachers 

• Builds student interest & confidence to enroll in AP Computer Science courses

​

Our goal in SIA Classroom is simple: Boost students’ confidence in their ability to engage computer science courses in high school and college. We remove barriers that keep students from reaching their potential in a field full of great career opportunities!

​

SIA Classroom is supported by a US DOE Education, Innovation, and Research (EIR) grant.

*Schools must currently offer an AP CSP or AP CSA course in order to meet grant compliance and evaluation requirements. The Game Design unit must be taught in a class other than an AP course, however.
