C408 | Hands-On STEAM Application of Computer Science (Room 209)

Science, technology, engineering, arts, math, and computer science are integrated throughout every aspect of daily life, yet are often presented in isolation in the life of a student. Engage learners and empower your lessons by integrating STEAM and computer science into your content areas. This presentation will provide an introduction of Scratch and its application for hands-on activities such as Makey Makey to demonstrate simple and inexpensive ways to engage and enrich students in the content through explorations in STEAM and CS. Real sample activities will be presented and explored, such as a Makey Makey interactive water cycle board and a cereal box guitar. Ideally for grades 3+.
