2019 Professional Learning

Name Description Date
Coding & STEAM 2019 A weekly after-school program that ran for 8 weeks and that involved learning about ways of integrating coding into a variety of learning areas. This program was similar to a program ran over 10 weeks in 2018 but the content was updated for Scratch 3 and the program involved activities from the Creative Computing Curriculum Guide, which was updated for Scratch 3. August - September 2019
CS4S: An Introduction to Coding and Computational Thinking Workshop Introduced fundamental computational concepts with a variety of tools and resources, such as Scratch 3, MakeCode and BBC Micro:bits. October, 2019
Creating Artificial Intelligence Workshop A 1-day workshop that focused on Machine Learning, which is one topic within Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the workshop, we taught teachers the essential steps in developing Machine Learning solutions and showed them how to create and test Machine Learning models using the Machine Learning for Kids website. November, 2019
Creating Virtual Reality Workshop A 1-day workshop that was planned to run in November but that we had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. The workshop would have involved creating VR scenes using the A-Frame VR Framework and you can see the activities that we planned to use on the workshop's website. November, 2019
