UW in the HS [High School Teachers only]
A session designed for Washington state teachers who are interested in learning more about the program and our offerings from a panel of UWHS staff, UWHS teachers, and Allen school faculty. The UW in the High School (UWHS) program offers teachers a unique opportunity to provide their students with access to University of Washington courses right from their own classrooms. Through this dual credit or concurrent enrollment program, students can earn college credit for courses like CSE 121 (Introduction to Computer Programming I), CSE 122 (Introduction to Computer Programming II), CSE 163 (Intermediate Data Programming), and CSE 180 (Introduction to Data Science), all at no cost for Washington state public school students. By partnering with the Allen School, you can offer your students a challenging and enriching curriculum, helping them build skills that will set them up for success in college and beyond.
