CS Summer of Fun 2025

This hands-on workshop equips educators with the tools and confidence to integrate computer science into life science curricula using the micro:bit Smart Agriculture Kit. Participants will explore how to engage students in real-world applications of coding and data collection through the lens of sustainable farming and environmental monitoring. Across two interactive sessions, educators will receive foundational training in micro:bit programming using MakeCode. Participants will then learn how to operate smart agriculture sensors and design lessons that blend life science concepts with coding challenges. The workshop emphasizes strategies for inquiry-based learning, project design, and differentiation, empowering teachers to create lessons where students simulate precision agriculture systems, automate processes, and interpret environmental data. To support classroom implementation, loaner sensor kits and micro:bits will be available for participating teachers to bring back to their schools.
