Computational Thinking
Computational thinking is one of the hottest topics in education today. And the best way to develop this critical 21st-century skill set? Engaging computer programming tasks! Find the right programming task for your students on the Edison website. #STEM #STEAM #edtech #coding #Edisonrobots #learntocode
Kode With Klossy | free coding program
Model and self-proclaimed math and science nerd, Karlie Kloss, took her first coding class just 7 years ago. That same year, she founded Kode With Klossy to encourage and empower girls to learn code! #STEM #STEAM #edtech #coding #learntocode #KodeWithKlossy #teachersofinstagram #teachersofinsta
Hands-on, Minds-on Learning
Have you heard the phrase 'hands-on, minds-on' when it comes to learning? We couldn't agree more. Engage your students on their coding adventure with Edison. Free hands-on lesson activities available on the Edison website. #STEM #STEAM #edtech #coding #learntocode #handsonmindson #Edisonrobots
Coding fun fact
Coders who study and write malware are known as hackers, but they aren't all bad people. Those who write malware to commit crimes are known as 'black-hat' hackers, but people who work to prevent these attacks are also hackers: 'white-hat' hackers. Being a white-hat hacker is a legitimate job! #STEM #STEAM #edtech #coding #hackers #learntocode
Coding is fun!
Although it's great to get outside, sometimes staying indoors can be just as fun. Learn to code! It's easy with Edison robots. #STEM #STEAM #edtech #coding #Edisonrobots
Fun Fact!
A woman named Grace Murray Hopper, one of the inventors of modern computer programming, came up with the term 'computer bug' when she discovered that the issue causing her computer to malfunction was an actual moth that had gotten into the hardware! She fixed the problem by literally debugging her computer. #STEM #STEAM #edtech #robotics #coding #computers #funfact
How to teach with the Edison robot - free robotics lesson plans
An important part of coding is trial and error for both students and teachers. Remember as a teacher it's okay to not know! Some great advice from the Hour of Code team is to respond to student questions and struggles with phrases like: "I don't know. Let's figure this out together." "Technology doesn't always work out the way we want." "Learning to program is like learning a new language; you won't be fluent right away." Most importantly don't forget to have fun! #STEM #STEAM #edtech #coding
