No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Bringing Computer Science to Savannah's ClassroomsCEISMC and Georgia Tech-Savannah have been providing Code.org’s computer science fundamentals professional development training, which is for K-5 teachers, for the past two years. Thanks to funding support from Code.org, teachers who wanted to participate have been able to enjoy the one- or two-day workshops while paying little to nothing out of pocket. However, when COVID-19 pushed all programs online, there was uncertainty if the trainings would meet their minimum registrations, a requirement to receive funding. In preparation, they created a virtual format that still provided a high-quality experience while allowing teachers the flexibility needed to adjust to new scheduling demands and educational platforms.
