CSTA Indiana and nextech put on “CSPD Week” for Indiana k-12 educators at the end of June. There were full days of formal learning and evenings of informal networking/learning. There was even a bunch of swag for attendees.
I contributed a “Robot Playground” on 3 of the nights. I gathered a variety of “robots” (many borrowed from IU SOE TTL ) and had them available for 2 hours for educators to stop by and play with them or just chat about them. We had about 2 dozen people stop by over the 3 nights.
The platforms that we had available were :
KaiBot
Cubelets
Cubetto
Beebot
Dash
Cue
Sphero Bolt
Sphero RVR
Edison
Adafruit Circuit Playground Express
micro:bit
Birdbrain Technologies Finch
Elecfreaks Cutebot
Elecfreaks 32 in 1 Wonder Building Kit
Brown Dog Gadgets Bit Board Rover Kit
