Oracle Academy Workshops
Oracle Academy Workshops are designed to make first experiences with computing fun and engaging, while still leveraging best academic curriculum practices like project-based learning and offering educators methods for assessment. Oracle Academy Workshops are best used by educators in one of three ways:
to introduce students, including students as young as late primary school ages, to computer science in a fun and engaging way;
to incorporate exposure to computer science into the teaching of other academic disciplines; and
to offer a limited introduction to computer science to students via extra-curricular programs and/or workshop experiences.
Oracle Academy Workshops and related educator training are available to Individual and Institutional members.
