Educator Workshop includes six hours of YouTube instructions to follow at your own pace, live support via Zoom if needed, and a certificate for 8 hours of professional development for qualified educators.
Gear up for hands-on robotics in your classroom with the cyber:bot. This robotics kit combines a complete curriculum, the Python language interpreter and micro:bit controller, a browser-based programming environment (no FERPA/COPPA compliance or IT staff requests), and the recently block programming added with MakeCode. The strengths of this robot are in coding, robotics, cybersecurity, wireless control, and electronic circuit building. Educators view the cyber:bot as a path forward with relevant industry skills. Designed with high school in mind, this program adapts well to middle school and college too.
