Workshops
An Introduction to Computational Thinking through Creative Computing
This workshop is for educators interested in learning more about tools that promote computational thinking in the classroom. We will explore how computational thinking can be applied to a wide variety of academic subjects and examine the fundamental processes involved in developing simple yet powerful applications by using tools such as Blockly Games, Scratch and Pocket Code. Little to no technology experience is required for this workshop.
