Are you looking to build more 21st century skills among your students? Bringing robotics into the classroom is a great way to build computer science, design thinking and problem solving skills. Code Savvy is proud to be the MN Training Partner for Edison Robots. We provide equity-focused, hands-on training for K12 and community educators to develop skills, strategies and ideas for integrating Edison Robots into any classroom.

Join us on Saturday, February 8th from 9:30am - 12pm for a hands-on chance to dig in to robotics and try out ideas related to how robotics could look in your teaching space. Our training includes access to Edison’s curriculum, project ideas, design challenges and examples, and practical strategies for differentiation to ensure an equitable and engaging robot learning experiences for all students. All educators are encouraged to attend, as Edison’s can be utilized K-12.

Each participating school will receive 1 free Edison Robot so you can take what you learn and bring it back to students right away!
