This workshop is designed for educators interested in learning more about coding using the TI-Innovator™ Hub with TI-Launchpad™ Board to further engage students in coding and STEM applications.
Building upon the lessons from TI’s 10 Minutes of Code for the TI-Innovator™ Hub, the workshop shows participants how to control the Hub and the built-in light and sound sensors. The coding applications covered will be connected to concepts in math and science.
By the end of the workshop, participants should be comfortable:
- Writing programs that control input and output commands on the Hub using the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator Program Editor or TI-Nspire™ CX handheld Program Editor
- Using variables in a program
- Using syntax to input numbers into a program
- Exploring other coding techniques such as using lists
- Applying what they have learned to create their own activities
Overview
This is a one-day, in-person workshop. It can be combined with either the “Learning to Code With TI-84 Plus Family of Graphing Calculators” workshop or the “Learning to Code With TI-Nspire™ Technology” workshop to create a two-day workshop. A half-day workshop option is also available. A virtual workshop is also available in multiple two- or three-hour sessions.
During this workshop, participants will learn to:
