[00:00:00.000]One and two, and I'm using four x
[00:00:04.004]to fill my first value up.
[00:00:05.820]Today is part of the first year
[00:00:07.840]of a cohort of teachers who are going to
[00:00:10.460]incorporate Computer Science
[00:00:12.040]into their classroom in some way.
[00:00:13.949](groovy techno music)
[00:00:19.700]To assess and evaluate how well the courses work
[00:00:23.610]for, in terms of teaching, these teachers
[00:00:25.720]teach Computer Science. How the courses
[00:00:28.760]boost confidence.
[00:00:30.190]The first time we did this, I knew
[00:00:31.910]they really enjoyed it.
[00:00:33.829](groovy techno music)
[00:00:48.710]We're preparing these kids for all of these
[00:00:50.760]jobs that may not even exist right now
[00:00:54.500]and they need to be prepared for
[00:00:57.300]a tech-driven world.
[00:00:58.830]With the Silicon Prairie emerging
[00:01:02.477]kind of in Nebraska, there's a lot of
[00:01:04.460]stem jobs available. And then so expanding
[00:01:07.104]our reach so that students,
[00:01:09.329]not just in Lincoln, and Omaha are prepared
[00:01:12.950]for those sorts of careers
[00:01:14.040]but students throughout our state
[00:01:15.330]is a really important component for us.
[00:01:17.960]So it's important for these kids to have
[00:01:19.580]this at the youngest age possible
[00:01:21.850]so that they grow up just knowing this
[00:01:23.910]as this is natural.
[00:01:24.900]This is something that I've learned.
[00:01:27.808](groovy techno music)
[00:01:36.520]Oh man! The support from my group
[00:01:38.636]has been tremendous.
[00:01:40.550]We really feed off one another.
[00:01:42.430]What one person has understood,
[00:01:44.380]they're really good about sharing that
[00:01:45.730]with other people in the group.
[00:01:47.570]So this impact is immediate
[00:01:49.470]and has a potential to be long lasting.
