Thinking in Code: Minecraft Style

Resource Link

Minecraft is a hit in education, and it's no wonder. But have you considered it as a tool for learning ABOUT computer science and coding? We will play together in a multiplayer MinecraftEdu world where you will actually learn to code. We know there's a huge demand for students to start learning coding as young as possible. Here's a great way to use a game to get started for you, the teacher, and potentially with your students.

Make It 101: the Toy Take Apart Project

Resource Link

Whether you have a Makerspace or not, this fun and engaging activity works for any classroom! “Toy Take Apart” was originally designed by Agency by Design. Taking apart a toy (and hacking it) is a great introduction to tinkering and making. Not only is it fun to explore the inner workings of a toy; it also encourages complex thinking, creativity, and experimentation. But it also gets to the heart of the constructivist’s theory of learning, in which we simply do not teach to transfer knowledge, but rather facilitate and guide the learner to construct their own knowledge. Want to have fun, tinker, get inspired, and take apart some toys? Then join my Toy Take Apart project!
