Session Format

Workshop (90 minutes)

Location

Room 210

Abstract for the conference program

A hands-on workshop in which you’ll learn to code in the FREE, open-source programming language Python using Turtle graphics, plus exercises and activities with low-cost Drones, Bots, and 3D printers to get students interested and keep them engaged in coding. In this session, you'll learn: how to code turtle graphics in Python; how to engage children from pre-K through college with short, interactive, visual programs for every age level; and, how to build more advanced programming skills in Python. (Bring your own laptop or tablet to code LIVE during the session). Presented by an experienced middle-school programming/engineering teacher, along with the author of the #1 Amazon New Release and Top 10 Best Seller, "Teach Your Kids to Code".
