Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017),
Aug. 6, 2017, 10 a.m.
(90 minutes).
This workshop is great for teaching coding fundamentals, and we progress from drag-and-drop coding into using a real programming language.
During the workshop, we will build some fun and exciting apps and games that run on the micro:bit exposing the students to its capabilities, teaching them programming skills, and inspiring them to take coding further.
The micro:bit is a small handheld, fully programmable compute with 25 LED lights that can be used as a display, programmable buttons. You can make games, motion detectors and a digital compass. There is even a bluetooth connection to interact with other micro:bit’s.
Workshop1: is for children between 10 and 14 years old and will be 1,5 hour.
You will learn the basic of programming the micro:bit with the different standard tools and buttons.

Pauline Maas is a ICT teacher in a school for Special Education Needs. She is also author of the book CodeKlas (40 tools how to start coding with programming). For more then 10 years she teaches kids and teachers how to teach computational thinking in a very practical way. Her roots are in the ICT but she made the switch to teaching because she saw it was important to teach children how to use ict. She loves gamification and she is using that a lot in her lessons and workshops. She made CodeWise a cardgame how to teach coding with no computer.
