By the end of this session, educators will:
-Learn about the Code Club movement and how to join the Code Club community
-Learn about free resources available to support students in learning coding through a project-based learning approach
-Experience a coding session as a participant and discuss facilitation strategies to support their Code Club environment
Intro (15 min)
-I will share about Code Club and its relationship with the Raspberry Pi foundation helping participants to understand the available resources available to them as educators to support student in learning how to code
-I’ll ask participants to share how/if they are engaging students in opportunities to program and/or why they are interested in bringing coding to their school sites
Intro to Coding (15 min)
-Attendees will participate in an “unplugged” activity and discuss their experience and how it applies to programming on a computer
-I will do an overview of different programming languages and the projects available to support students
Coding Project Time (40 min)
-Participants will engage with a coding project (either alone or in pairs). Participants will be given a specific Code Club project to start with options to explore other projects in different programming languages
-We will come back together as a group to discuss the experience of engaging in a coding project and facilitation strategies for supporting students in a project-based learning environment.
Starting a Club (10 min)
-I will discuss the free resources available to educators to get coding clubs started at their school sites and share about the activities and events available to the Code Club community (community calls, competitions, Coolest Projects) and how they can register with Code Club.
-Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss in small groups how they plan to start a club at their school site
Reflection & Next Steps (10 min)
-Attendees will have the opportunity to share out and ask questions about starting a club at their site
-Attendees will complete an exit ticket to have them reflect on their experience and plan to start a coding club at their school
