200 teachers from across BC and Ontario will participate in Code Class, a one day coding and computational thinking crash course.
Coding education experts Lighthouse Labs have partnered with K ids Code Jeunesse, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering kids and teachers through code and the C omputer Using Educators of BC (CUEBC) to host the inaugural C ode Class on October 22nd. Code Class is a free, full-day workshop designed specifically for K-12 educators that aims to introduce educators to computational thinking and inspire them to bring code into the classroom. It will support teachers by removing barriers and fostering an understanding of computational thinking, technology and basic code.
With the introduction of code into the new ADST curriculum across BC, organizers believe that it is more important than ever to invest in our teachers and to give them the tools and resources needed to bring code into the classroom.
K-12 teachers of all subjects can participate in this free-of-charge one-day workshop held at Lighthouse Labs campus in downtown Toronto. Over two dozen software developers from local technology companies will mentor participants during the workshop, and no previous coding experience is required. “By educating children with the tools needed to create and communicate within the 21st century, we are providing them with the skills need to build their own future success.” says Kate Arthur, Founder and Co-Director at Kids Code Jeunesse.
Participants are expected to bring their own laptop to the event; Internet connection and lunch will be provided. Code Class is supported by Lighthouse Labs, Kids Code Jeunesse, the Computer Using Educators of BC (CUEBC), City of Toronto and Panago Pizza.
