Tinkercad is often used for creating 3D objects that can be 3D printed. But it can also be used to teach basic electronics all the way up to coding Arduinos in a virtual environment. This session will be a quick run-through of the four units I cover with middle school students each year. This is a hands-on session and participants should be ready to play along in their own Tinkercad account.
Building an app sounds hard, but it can be easy to get started with Code.org's App lab. Come learn how to build a working app on your tablet or laptop. Also Learn about opportunities for students to build apps and even compete!
Why should we be building globally competent students & what the heck are the SDGs? Bring yourself, a device to connect to the internet, and a curious mind as we discuss globally competent students and the SDGs. You'll leave with tools including the framework, examples from a Fullbright HS classroom, links and resources, and more. Engaging students in relevant and glocal opportunities is an amazing way to teach any subject: including computer science! This will be an interactive session.
