I arrived at today's session under the weather however I wasn't going to miss out on the session after reading the programme for the day. was not disappointed as the presentation was fun and informative and being run by a vibrant presenter that made everything exciting.
OMG Tech Trailblazers is the site to access all of the activities. I had been lucky enough to attend a course by Tim Bell so to revisit some of the computer science activities was fantastic.
The coding activities were introduced at a good pace which allowed me to finally get the idea and I now have the confidence to be able to teach this to my students.

Using these ideas in my classroom
This week I shared with my class and another homeroom the videos of big dog and automated planes and cars. We looked at the ethics and morals scenarios and the discussions around these were amazing.
I have begun coding and we are using the compute it as a warm u to one of our lessons is a day.
Good on you Kate for sticking it out, despite being unwell. There were so many cool things to learn and participate in and it is great to read that you are trying them with your students.
