# Computing by Design 2020

Preparing Innovators in Computing

## Welcome!

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/cead33b93800475ba2d15c46f5d75235>" %}

**Welcome to the Computing by Design (CxD) 2020 Summer Workshop!** This year's online sessions include four modules that introduce the CxD framework and three practical projects that employ the framework. The sessions culminate with the development of an instructional plan for you to facilitate computer science learning in your context. The [**base schedule**](/cxd/cxd-2020-summer-workshop/schedule.md) spans the month of June, but you may choose to accelerate through faster.&#x20;

Most activities are asynchronous, where you can watch videos, read material, and post comments in Slack at times convenient for you. We will have weekly 2-hour Zoom sessions for live discussions, and we will organize sessions for side topics as needed. As a rough estimate, you might spend 6 to 8 hours on each of the modules.

### Preparation List

1. **Review the primary** [**workshop tools**](/cxd/cxd-2020-summer-workshop/preparation/workshop-tools.md)
2. **Join** [**our Slack workspace**](https://cxd2020.slack.com) **and select a cohort**
3. **Take a look at the** [**programming preparation options**](/cxd/cxd-2020-summer-workshop/preparation/programming-pre-work.md)**.**
4. **Join us in one of our welcome Zoom sessions:** Monday, June 1, 9am or 3pm

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.launchboard.app/cxd/cxd-2020-summer-workshop/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
