Teaching physical computing, programmable toys, robotics and computer coding can prove challenging for teachers across the primary years. In Design Technology, the requirement to teach children the necessary knowledge to include systems that control and monitor their products can also prove just as challenging. This highly interactive and practical day aims to support teachers in delivering these elements of the primary curriculum. The morning session allows teachers to explore physical computing from EYFS to Year 6 including computer coding using block codes. Participants will learn the capabilities of the BBC Microbit and Crumble Kits using the starter kits that are provided as part of the course materials and are included in the price. In the afternoon, participants will learn how to incorporate using the BBC Microbit and Crumble Kits into Design Technology projects. In addition to this high quality training, all participants will receive copies of three units of work from our scheme of work that focus on programme systems (Crumble Nightlights, Soft Toy Tamagotchi and Robo Wars (Controllable Vehicles).
