The micro:bit is a multifunctional tool that can be integrated into many areas of curriculum. The CYBER.ORG STEM EDA workshop covered Electricity, Coding, and Music. In this workshop, teachers will be guided through ways of using the micro:bit with these topics to incorporate micro:bits and computer science into all classrooms.
Completion of the workshop can be used towards fulfilling requirements for the North Dakota credential for Computer Science and Cybersecurity.
This workshop session will be asynchronous. Work will need to be completed during the month teachers sign up for. This is a Pass/Fail course.
