Education/2018workshop
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
Computing in the Classroom - Coding, Gadgets, and STEM
- ESIP Education is pleased to offer a 1-day workshop focusing on computer tools that facilitate data exploration. Coding, and coding gadgets (example: Raspberry Pi) are activities that function on a level just above programming yet employ similar critical thinking skills to enable digital data manipulation for specific results.
