FIND A TRAINING

“ Well paced and engaging start to end. Packed with practical, ready-to-use plans and materials. Great example of abstract theory / why this is useful in our classes and for our students; and decomposition of steps / how to implement. Excellent intro for those of us at the beginning - looking forward to more training on next steps - piqued my interest! ”

- TEACHER, YUKON

“ Thank you so much for putting together this hands-on workshop, I promised my students and colleagues I’ll come back with a lot of new ideas and resources for them and I’m happy to say they will not be disappointed. ”

- TEACHER, B.C.

“ Very accessible approach by your team to educators like me with limited background in coding. Easy buy in for teachers as you all provided resources, ongoing support during sessions, handy and well designed take home resources for teachers who are at the entry level of coding. Very generous offering on all levels to us teachers. Many thanks! ”
