Coding in the Curriculum

The new 9 de-streamed Science (SNC1W) curriculum incorporates Coding and Engineering Design Process to support the increased STEM focus.
In this workshop we will learn basic coding with Micro:bits and how to use it in your classroom to solve problems and model concepts. We will also consider how to incorporate and assess the Engineering Design Process. There will be multiple examples from the new SNC1W course, but all concepts are easily applied across multiple grades and disciplines, including cross-curricular applications.

Target Grades: 7-12
