An Introduction to Coding and Math - JK - Grade 8
(Mon Oct 26, 4:30 – 6:00 pm & Tue Oct 27 7:00 - 8:30 pm & Mon Nov 2, 4:30 – 6:00 pm)
If you have never coded before, just coded a little, or you are not sure how to learn math through coding, this workshop is for you. We will go through several 'hands on' activities to give you a head start on learning to code and learning mathematics. Practical, free, online resources will be shared and critiqued so you can make informed choices about what you bring to your students.

Coding and Math with MakeCode II - Grades 4-6
(Mon Nov 2 7:00 - 8:30 pm)
Join us for a hands-on, interactive session on coding with math in hybrid learning environments. This session is for those elementary educators who have some experience/knowledge of block coding and want some practical math activities and lessons. We will have some hands-on practice with block coding involving sequential, concurrent and repeating events. Breakout sessions will also involve testing some online math activities and discussing further in-class, "making" opportunities. Some experience with block coding is recommended for this session.
