Purpose:
Teachers will learn about the micro:bit and MakerBit interface and how it allows for a low threshold but high ceiling outcomes for student learning.
Objective #1:
Teachers will learn about the micro:bit and MakerBit and how to engage all students in all curricula by allowing students to creative interactive video-based projects.
Objective #2:
Teachers will discover the power of Makecode and how it can engage students through block coding and Javascript so they can understand computational thinking and algorithm design.
Objective #3:
Teachers will learn the value of physical computing and its importance with not only computer science but also with understanding their world. Teachers will learn about projects students can create to simulate real-world examples.
