As Scratchers begin exploring computational concepts that are common in many programming languages (sequence, loops, parallelism, events, conditionals, operators, and data), they may run into common errors that will challenge their problem-solving skills and reinforce the importance of iteration and a growth mindset. As facilitators, we want to support playful learning and tinkering mindset values, so that participants can experiment, share, and celebrate ideas, as well as develop a mindset that is comfortable with the discomfort of getting stuck and thinks critically about strategies for getting unstuck. Join us to see some examples of coding and debugging challenges you can explore with your learners, as we discuss debugging strategies and where they can look for help and inspiration on the Scratch platform.

 

Experience Level: All experience levels welcome. We'll cover low floor, wide wall, and high ceiling project options.

 

1 hour of Professional Development Experience: A certificate of participation will be emailed upon session completion. Educators should follow their district’s policy and procedure for obtaining CEUs for workshop attendance.

 

This is workshop 6 of a 6 part series. On the registration page, you can register for all or select workshops at once.
