PARTNERING TO PREPARE YOUR STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE

The School of Interactive Arts (SIA) offers two ways for you to bring our programming to your schools. If you'd like to inquire about bringing one of our programs to your school, you can submit a request through our School Inquiry form or contact Dr. Amy Patterson.
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.
Download our SIA Classroom flyer or contact Amy Patterson to learn more.
*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.
GAME ON: AP CSP THROUGH GAME DESIGN
Game On is a free, research-based school support program for schools to expand or establish an engaging and culturally relevant Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course offering through Game Design. CS teachers are supported in teaching AP CSP using Game On’s rigorous curriculum and evidence-based pedagogical approach.*
-
A year-long interactive and evidence-based AP CSP curriculum
-
Access to cutting-edge game design technology used by industry leaders (accessible on a device as simple as a Chromebook!)
-
Includes free teacher training + $2,000 stipend for participating teachers
SIA Classroom is supported by a US DOE Education, Innovation, and Research (EIR) grant.
