You wouldn’t implement a 1-to-1 program in your school without a plan, would you? Not until COVID-19!

Join Christa Fairman and Kathy Scott from CoderZ as they share how educators are using virtual robotics and coding to achieve incredible outcomes. TCEA members will learn how to create an inclusive environment that empowers students to engage in robotics no matter what their experience level, all the while ensuring that teachers are set up for success, even if they have never taught coding before. And, like everyone connected to teaching and learning, Christa and Kathy are working with schools and teachers as they navigate the complexities of hybrid and remote learning. This is why schools taking a virtual approach to coding and robotics are finding that their students and teachers are ready for anything.

Presenters:

She first joined CoderZ in 2017 as an 8th Grade teacher participating in the First CRCC Event in the Greater DC area. The next year she integrated the CoderZ learning platform into her curriculum and a team placed second in the Virginia CRCC Live Event, followed by a first-place team victory in the South Atlantic Region Live Event in the Fall of 2019. Christa is committed to collaborating with teachers and educational leaders to deliver relevant training supporting 21st Century learning and a CoderZ journey as engaging and meaningful as it was to her and her students.

Kathy Scott, District Account Manager, CoderZ

Having worked at companies such as Lightspan and Learning.com, Kathy is an expert at the infrastructure, training, and learning culture requirements required to be successful. In that context, Kathy brought her expertise to CoderZ in 2020 with a mission to ensure that every student finds coding, robotics, and STEM as inclusive and engaging as it’s meant to be.
