At the heart of Computational Thinking is problem solving, much like putting a puzzle together. While there are often many ways to solve a puzzle, there are basic strategies and processes that can be followed to improve the probability of success. In this session, we will focus on the four pillars of computational thinking and related processes to design solutions to various problems. Participants will investigate various problem solving strategies using both plugged and unplugged activities that can be utilized with a variety of students and classroom settings.
In this hands-on workshop, attendees will build a JellyBOX 3D printer from a DIY kit, create a 3D model, slice it, and print—all in 1.5 hours. This interactive session provides practical experience in 3D printing, making it easy to integrate into your curriculum, afterschool programs, or camps. Learn how to engage students with reusable JellyBOX kits, offering an affordable way to teach STEM through real, hands-on activities. Perfect for educators looking to inspire with 3D printing!
Join us for an insightful session on how to elevate student engagement through the innovative integration of artificial intelligence and creative thinking. We will explore practical strategies for leveraging AI to inspire student creativity that empowers students to take ownership of their learning journey. Discover how to create a vibrant classroom environment where students are not just consumers of information, but active creators, problem-solvers, and critical thinkers.
Participants will actively engage with the tools and participate in discussions, which will enable participants to "work smarter, not harder," ultimately helping them to take back their lives while enhancing their teaching effectiveness.
This session helps educators organize physical and digital spaces, ensuring smooth transitions between online and offline learning. Focus areas include classroom management of device use and integrating digital tools with traditional methods to foster engagement and collaboration.
