In this episode of Logics Academy, Mike speaks with Jen Giffen about her work at YRDSB, and her thoughts on stepping out of your comfort zone to learn programming.
Notes:
- There are a lot of great events you will see Logics Academy at coming up. Connect is happening in Niagara Falls April 30th through May 2nd. We will have booth presentations, a playground to experience all our great devices and a chance to sign up for our new educator community. If you’re heading to Niagara Falls for Connect, please be sure to drop by and say hi!
- In May we will also be at the SK IT Summit in Saskatoon May 5th through 8th and I will be at Riding the Wave in Gimli Manitoba May 9th and 10th. Be sure to drop by our booth in Saskatoon, or come say hi to me in Gimli, we are really excited about both of these events.
- We have a BUNCH of new products about to launch through our partner Makeblock. We’re really excited about Halocode. Halocode is a wireless single board computer with built-in Wi-Fi support and microphone for student IoT and speech recognition projects. It has 12 x Programmable RGB LED lights, a Motion Sensor, 4 Touch Sensors and Micro USB Connector and can be programmed using mBlock 5 software based on Scratch 3.0. It’s $41.99 and going to be available in class packs for a discount. We know you’re going to love this. We’ll have some out for you to take a look at if you swing by our booth at any show we’re at going forward. Be sure to ask for it, I think you’ll be wow’d!
- We have a couple of pretty amazing promo’s happening right now. When you buy an mBot classroom pack you’ll get three free mBot addon packs - that’s 135 dollars worth of stuff giving you 10 possible alternative configurations for mBot. Pretty slick. ALSO, when you buy a Codey Rocky classroom pack you get a free Neuron Inventor kit. Neuron is a standalone product but also works with Codey Rocky to increase its functionality by quite a bit. The inventor kit is worth 165 dollars so this is a pretty amazing deal. You have until April 30th to take advantage of these two offers
