How I Snuck Teaching Coding to My Students
Friday March 7, 2025 10:00am - 10:45am CST
Alumni Tadtman Board Room
Some students believe only smart students can code. In my lab, all the students code.
Using Block Coding in different forms, students can move robots, an Agent in Minecraft, make basic apps for their iPad, run a microprocessor, or fly a drone. Depending on your comfort level and accommodations, there are multiple ways to bring Coding into your lessons. I will demonstrate Block Coding for the group and give participants time to code a Shero Bolt (you will need to download Sphero Edu on your device to participate in the demonstration). Even if you only use "Hour of Code" in your room, you can still expose students to an exploding career field in STEM.
