Texas teachers always give their workshops high marks, which is why we’re not only honored to have Launch CS as our newest WeTeach_CS Program Sponsor, but also thrilled to have them join us for the 2018 WeTeach_CS Summit!
How to integrate Computational Thinking (The Right Way)
Monday, June 18 • 10:00am – 11:00am
Join Launch CS to explore ways to make core content engaging and fun with computational thinking. In this hands-on session educators will play and create using a handheld, fully programmable computing device called Micro:Bit.
During this session, you will explore how developing your own content knowledge in computational thinking will help you create meaningful integrations into your curriculum. You will learn by constructing your knowledge through a creative Micro:Bit programming project and an engaging unplugged activity.
The goal for this session is to get you excited about computational thinking integration. Everyone loves learning at conferences and has aspirations of transferring our learning back into our classrooms and/or buildings. To help make that a reality for educators in this session, 40 participants will leave this session with a Micro:Bit device to take back into their classrooms!
