Micro-credential
Coding is such a desirable skill set in education. Why not add a coding micro-credential to your portfolio?
In this 9-hour hybrid course, you will learn the basics of coding. We’ll start with offline computational thinking activities that are key to understanding coding, move into drag and drop coding tools, and finish up with using our coding skills to program a micro-controller. Connections will be made to the transferable skills in the new Ontario language curriculum, as well as to science and math expectations. We’ll also make links to the UN sustainable development goals, and look at ways to integrate coding across the curriculum. You’ll come out with practical skills that employers are looking for and feel confident sharing your coding understanding with colleagues and students.
When and where?
January 22 to February 26 with virtual synchronous and in-person sessions; multiple sessions available each week.
