Room: B3
Whether you’re preparing your students to succeed in the classroom or for a career, coding is a must. Coding skills teach logical thinking, reasoning skills, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and much more. These skills are needed in all academic areas and life in general. Code.org is a great beginning to teach the basic coding language but they can be used with other technology. Come with a device and be ready to EXPLORE how block coding can be used with Sphero Bolt, Dash and Dot, and a Tello Drone. You want to excite students, this is how! Be ready to interact with the technology and others.
