08/10/2020 – 08/14/2020BLaST IU17 believes in the 4 strands of STEM: Code, Build, Design, Create. Each of these strands is tied to a different pedagogical foundation. Code is based upon the CS Framework and Computational Thinking. Build is based upon the Engineering Design Process. Design is based on Design Thinking from d.school at Stanford. Create is based upon the ISTE Standards for Students -- Creative Communicator, Global Collaborator, and Knowledge Constructor. Students need a variety of experiences in order to find their passion. Truly rich experiences will combine different strands together in a project-based environment. Participants in this workshop series will actively engage in each of the strands throughout. This offering is intended to support K-8 educators who currently or will soon teach computer science. Educators do not need prior experience with computer science and do not need to be a stand-alone CS course. It is strongly suggested that districts send no less than 2 educators and an administrator. Sign in begins at 8:30 AM. Lunch is included and served at 11:30 AM
COST: $1500 for 2 participants and an administrator
ACT 48: 27.5 hours
