Are you planning to enhance STEAM and Coding programs in your district, school, or makerspace? Join this session for a fun, hands-on experience with littleBits Code Kit: a complete computer science solution that teaches students how to build their own mini-computer or game console; code their own games, stories, animations, and music; upload on their machine; play, remix, and share! We will discuss best practices on bringing hands-on Coding and STEAM in your school and review guidelines on coding to learn math, science, literacy, art, and music. Pilot and case studies examining Code Kit implementation in elementary and middle schools will be reviewed, and important take-aways applicable for different educational settings will be highlighted. Walk away with amazing resources, actionable strategies, and more importantly an inspiration to start inventing!
