Step 2 Watch and interact in one of two ways
In-class: If students are learning in-person, only the teacher needs to register. Teachers should project the tour in class and use a mouse on the large screen to answer interactive questions.
Remote Learning: Teachers can reserve seats for up to 100 remote students during registration. After registration is complete, we will email the teacher a list of unique links for each remote learner. Teachers can distribute these links how they see best. Remote students can also register for the tour themselves using the registration link.

Our Teacher Toolkit provides educators with slides, worksheets, and extension activities and curriculum connections for a variety of grade 4-8 educational connections. Use these materials to dive deep into computer science learning and to set students up for success before, during, and after the tour. The toolkit also includes a recorded interactive video to share with any students who cannot attend the live tour.

After registering, we will email the teacher a list of unique links for each remote learner. Teachers can distribute these links how they see best. Remote students can also register for the tour themselves using the registration link.

We have a 1,200 student minimum for all private tours. We will do our best to accommodate all large private tour requests and prioritize tours for school districts serving large proportions of students from underserved and underrepresented communities in tech.

Yes, absolutely. Anyone can sign up using the same link as classes if they desire a computer science themed tour.

The safety of our employees and guests is our top priority. At this moment there is no set date for when public tours will resume. As the global health situation develops, please check back for more information.
