Event Description

This workshop begins with introductory programming on Day 1 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 2 and 3 incorporate physical computing to reinforce CS concepts. 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!

Certificates of Participation - Certificates stating 21 hours of Continuing Professional Education hours (CPE credits) earned will be sent electronically after the participant has completed the online course evaluation. Any questions about certificates should be directed toward the contact person listed on this page.
