We will use Makey Makey Apps to inspire Scratch Projects. By having an app to replicate, teachers (and students ) will not be faced with white page syndrome and will have a common goal for coding completing their first Scratch projects.
Educators will learn the approaches to crafting learning experiences as a maker educator. These experiences differ from normal classroom learning because they are exploratory and problem/challenge-based in nature.
Multiple approaches to learning to code Scratch projects for hands on learning will be explored in this workshop which will ensure success and confidence for every teacher.
Teachers will be introduced to Invention Literacy and Makey Makey.
They'll learn to plug and play Makey Makey with free web apps on the Makey Makey website. Then teachers will learn to code these types of projects in Scratch and how to challenge students to build physical inventions that will uniquely trigger their coded projects.
