Computational Thinking

Level Up Your Computational Thinking Toolkit: 

Coding, Scrappy Circuits, & Micro:Bits for All Learners

This workshop explores computational thinking in the classroom, beginning with an in-depth introduction and continuing with practical applications that use a variety of hands-on examples. Throughout the workshop, we incorporate tools tailored to a range of school budgets. We start by experimenting with coding platforms students can use for authentic projects. Then we’ll move on to Scrappy Circuits, utilising inexpensive, easy-to-find materials that showcase computational thinking in action. Finally, we’ll focus on Micro:Bits hardware to show how it can expand the offerings to other content areas. Whether you are just starting out or have ample experience with computational thinking, this session provides lessons, templates, and resources.
