This workshop begins with introductory programming on Day 1 to provide teachers with foundational knowledge in coding using the trinket.io platform, and will encompass transitioning from block to text based coding in Python. Days 2 and 3 incorporate physical computing to reinforce CS concepts. The TI-Innovator™ Hub with the TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculator are powerful tools for introducing physical computing to students using Python. Participants will write code to program and build working solutions that actuate a red-green-blue LED, a single red LED, a brightness sensor and a built-in speaker. Ease into the world of coding with TI-Technology through a series of differentiated, collaborative tasks. We may even have a surprise visit from the TI-Innovator™ Rover as we explore introductory robotics!
