Integrating Computing and Robotics into STEM Education

This C-STEM 2-Day Workshop will provide K-14 teachers with hands-on experience on how to use freely available C-STEM Studio and RoboBlockly, as well as C-STEM Math-lCT curriculum with interactive coding, making and robotics that aligns with the Common Core Math and ICT Sector standards to develop students' 21st century problem-solving skills and better prepare students for college and careers. Teachers will also learn physical computing using general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins with Arduino, control of Linkbot and NXT/EV3 robots through Arduino, and how to bring physical computing and free C-STEM resources into their classroom teaching of STEM, computer science, making and robotics courses. Whether or not you have previous coding and robotics experience, you will enjoy the workshop enormously.
