CSTA 2025 Conference Slides Resource Library
Our youngest engineers may have the most innovative ideas! This workshop teaches elementary educators to incorporate design thinking, equity sharing protocols, robotics, and coding into their curricula. Participants will use the design thinking process to create lessons where students solve real-world problems through hands-on robotic projects. Drawing on the principles of empathy, ideation, and iteration, educators will learn how to guide students to identify problems, brainstorm solutions, and build functional robotic prototypes. Participants in this session will engage with a...
