SUMMARY:Webinar - Address Learning Loss and SEL with Creative Robotics
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, April 28th at 4pm (EST) we held the webinar – “Address Learning Loss and SEL with Creative Robotics“. \n \nThe recent federal stimulus program signed March 11\, the American Rescue Plan\, provides $122 billion in aid to K-12 schools. Provisions in the law guarantee that at least 20% of this funding must be spent on programs to help students recover from learning loss during this challenging past year. This is a challenging but exciting time for PreK-2 students and their teachers. We know young children learn best working together with their teachers\, in collaboration with their peers\, and using hands-on manipulatives. An age-appropriate\, cross-curricular tool like KIBO can help students re-engage with in-person learning\, practice SEL skills like collaboration and teamwork\, and recover lost ground in math\, literacy\, and more with cross-curricular STEAM lessons. \nWatch the webinar recording and learn:\n– How innovative\, age appropriate robotics can combat learning loss and provide social emotional learning opportunities – from preschool through early elementary school\n– New\, concrete ideas about KIBO projects you can run in your own school\, afterschool or summer program – Activity suggestions for hands-on play\n– How coding supports students return to hands-on\, explorative learning \nWatch Recording Today! \n \nSpeakers\nJane de Winter is the Executive Director of Big Learning\, a nonprofit that provides out-of-school-time enrichment programs for PreK—8 students in Maryland school districts. She also manages the Science & Engineering program at Big Learning. Hear from Jane about how out-of-school-time activities can support students as they navigate the challenges of a return to in person learning. \n \nTamieka Grizzle is an Innovation Specialist in Cobb Co\, GA. In this large public school district\, Tamieka uses KIBO robots to engage students in creative coding\, engineering\, and collaboration. She’ll share her perspective on how creative\, integrated tech projects can address core standards and cross-curricular learning goals while engaging students in meaningful\, collaborative group work. \nModerator\nJason Innes – Manager of Training and Curriculum Development\, KinderLab Robotics\, MA

SUMMARY:Webinar - Innovate your Makerspace! Robotics STEAM Activities to Engage Young Learners
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, March 30th at 2pm (EST) we held the webinar – “Innovate your Makerspace! Robotics STEAM Activities to Engage Young Learners“ \nAs we look ahead to summer and in-person schooling next year\, educators are looking for ways to enrich learning and help students recover from learning loss. Makerspaces provide a model for engaging summer programs and innovative in-school activities involving hands-on building\, engineering\, and design. The makerspace philosophy is a perfect expression of the “playground” approach to technology in education. \nThe KIBO Robot\, with its emphasis on building\, decorating\, and imaginative transformation\, is a perfect fit for makerspaces – or for makerspace-inspired activities in the classroom. Hear from our guests\, both experienced makerspace educators and technology integrators\, as they share examples of activities and projects with KIBO for makerspaces and classrooms\, for school-day learning and for summer and out-of-school-time programs. \nYoung children are creative\, with amazing imaginations. Learn how these educators provide creative spaces – in a makerspace or in an early childhood classroom – along with robotics and coding\, which allow children to move\, dance\, tell stories\, and explore new ideas. By providing age-appropriate technology\, such as the screen-free KIBO robot\, educators promote problem solving\, imagination\, cognitive challenges\, social interactions\, motor skills development\, and emotional exploration with their young students. \nWatch the webinar recording and learn:\n– How to set up a creative space using innovative\, age appropriate robotics – from preschool through early elementary school\n– Activity suggestions for hands-on play\n– How coding creates a playful learning environment \nWatch Webinar Recording Today! \nSpeakers\n \nBryan Flaig – Education consultant specializing in makerspaces and STEM curriculum \nBryan has worked as a STEM Coordinator for large school districts in the San Francisco Bay Area\, designing makerspaces and NGSS-aligned curriculum. He also taught middle school math and science for over 10 years. He is currently an education consultant specializing in makerspaces and STEM curriculum that integrates computer science into core content subjects. \n \nKimberly Fogerty – Lead Makerspace Educator\, The Park School in Brookline\, MA \nKim brings 23 years of experience as a maker educator\, technology specialist and integrationist\, science and computer specialist\, and classroom teacher. She has taught programming and robotics in classroom and enrichment environments for 15 years and in December of 2017 completed an advanced graduate certificate in Engineering Education at the Center for Engineering Education Outreach at Tufts University. \nModerator\nJason Innes – Manager of Training and Curriculum Development\, KinderLab Robotics\, MA

SUMMARY:Webinar - Coding as a Playground – Exploring Early Childhood Coding with Dr. Marina Bers
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, Feburary 23rd at 1pm (EST) for the webinar – “Coding as a Playground – Exploring Early Childhood Coding with Dr. Marina Bers“ \nCoding in early childhood? Dr. Marina Bers\, co-founder or KinderLab and author of the newly updated Coding as a Playground 2nd Edition\, will share how coding\, engineering\, and computational thinking can be age appropriate even for young children from Pre-K through 2nd grade. In fact\, coding can support our many developmental goals for these young learners\, allowing them to engage in critical thinking\, literacy skill acquisition\, problem solving\, self-expression\, and social-emotional development. \nJoin us as we invite Dr. Marina Bers to share her research on how young children (ages 7 and under) can engage in coding and computational thinking in the early learning classroom. Bringing creative coding into early childhood classrooms allows children to move\, dance\, tell stories\, and explore new ideas. By providing age-appropriate technology\, such as the screen-free KIBO robot\, educators promote problem solving\, imagination\, cognitive challenges\, social interactions\, motor skills development\, and emotional exploration with their young students. \nDr. Bers will share research and examples from her book that showcase coding as a new literacy – a new way for children to express and share their ideas. She will also discuss examples of how you can easily integrate coding into different curricular areas to promote literacy\, math\, science\, engineering\, and the arts through a project-based approach that you can implement in your own classrooms. \nAttend this webinar and learn:\n-How to easily integrate coding into the early childhood classroom\, from preschool through early elementary school\n-Activity suggestions for hands-on play\n-How teaching computational thinking supports key elements of child development\n-How coding creates a playful learning environment \nAttendees will be entered into a raffle to win a copy of Dr. Marina Bers’ newly released second edition of her book\, Coding as a Playground: Programming and Computational Thinking in the Early Childhood Classroom. \nRegister Today! \nSpeaker\nDr. Marina Bers – Professor and chair of the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development at Tufts University\, and co-founder of KinderLab Robotics\, Inc. \nModerator\nJason Innes – Manager of Training and Curriculum Development\, KinderLab Robotics\, MA
