In episode 4, Kelly Lougheed talks with Saber Khan about middle-school and high-school computer-science education at all-girls’ schools. Kelly is a computer-science teacher in Los Angeles, CA, with experience teaching all levels of secondary CS, from Scratch to AP-level Java. Previously, she worked as a web developer and a Latin teacher. Teaching computer science has been the best of both worlds, as well as the subject of the Master's degree she is currently pursuing. A graduate of an all-girls’ middle and high school, she is particularly interested in girls’ computer-science education and the integration of computer science with art, math, and the humanities. This is the second part of our conversation with Kelly Lougheed. Here we talk about creative applications of coding in the classroom and professional development and pedagogy for educators teaching coding. Kelly’s creative coding curriculum can be accessed on her Medium channel.
