Workshop Full DescThe professional development for teachers focuses on integrating innovative technology tools into the classroom, including iRobot, Dash and Dot, Sphero, and Cubelets. The training program provides hands-on activities and demonstrations on how to incorporate these tools into a variety of subject areas, such as science, math, and language arts. Teachers will learn how to use iRobot to create autonomous robots, Sphero to teach coding and problem-solving skills, and Dash and Dot to develop creative projects that incorporate coding and engineering concepts. The training will also cover how to use Cubelets to teach robotics and engineering concepts through hands-on, interactive building and programming. By the end of the professional development, teachers will have the skills and confidence to effectively integrate these innovative tools into their teaching practice and inspire their students to explore STEM subjects in new and exciting ways.
