ScratchEd Meetup – Canada-wide edition

About this Event

A Scratch Educator Meetup is a gathering of Scratch Educators who want to learn with and from each other, share their ideas and strategies for supporting creative computing.

What will we be doing at the meetup?

  1. We start with networking, getting to know fellow attendees, and sharing what people want to explore during the meetup.
  2. We collaboratively decide how to structure our learning and then form small groups based on our different interests. Maybe you want to have a discussion about classroom strategies or get more practice with Scratch—or something else entirely. Feel free to move between groups if the session that you're in isn't working for you.
  3. We gather as a whole group for reflection and group sharing. You might pose a question to discuss with the group, or share something from your classroom. This is a great time to inspire and be inspired.

What should I need?

Curiosity. And a computer.

We look forward to learning with you! This Meetup will be a joint venture with the Quebec and Eastern Ontario.

This program is a part of Tech-Up, Science World's initiative to enhance existing programs to include coding and digital literacy.
