Event Description
DAY ONE
This workshop begins with introductory programming to provide teachers with foundational knowledge in coding using the trinket.io platform, and will encompass transitioning from block to text based coding in Python.
DAYS TWO & THREE
The TI-Innovator™ Hub with the TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculator are powerful tools for introducing physical computing to students using Python. Participants will write code to program and build working solutions that actuate a red-green-blue LED, a single red LED, a brightness sensor and a built-in speaker. Ease into the world of coding with TI-Technology through a series of differentiated, collaborative tasks. We may even have a surprise visit from the TI-Innovator™ Rover as we explore introductory robotics!
