About this Event
Are you looking to bring computational thinking into your middle school STEM classroom?
Join us for an engaging, interactive 1-hour webinar designed to explore the Computer Science Modules within the “Engineering Medicine Coolers” unit by Youth Engineering Solutions (YES). This session will guide educators through hands-on activities and practical strategies for integrating computational tools and algorithms into real-world engineering challenges.
What You’ll Learn:
- Best practices for incorporating computational thinking and our Computer Science Framework principles into your classroom.
- How to use micro:bits to build and test an alarm algorithm in the “Medicine Cooler Alarms” module to keep medications safe in hot temperatures.
- The fundamentals of machine learning through the “Heatwave Visualizations” module, where students explore input bias and how algorithms can impact vulnerable populations.
- How to inspire students to develop creative problem-solving and engineering identities.
Who Should Attend:
This webinar is open to the public and is ideal for middle school educators, STEM instructors, and curriculum designers interested in integrating computer science into hands-on engineering projects.
Special offer for MA public school educators
If you are a Massachusetts public school educator, attendance to this webinar qualifies you for a free YES Middle School materials kit and classroom set of computer science tools such as micro:bits or Code and Go Mice courtesy of MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
