Working with leading teachers and academics, Teaching with Physical Computing is brought to you by the Education team at Arm, the world’s leading semiconductor IP company. Arm’s technology is in billions of devices – from supercomputers, mobile phones and cars to small computers from partners such as Micro:bit, Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
We work with schools and partners in supporting teaching communities of practice in STEM & Computing with training and a range of free-to-access resources on arm.com/schools.
Whether you’re new to teaching Computing or a specialist Computer Science teacher, Teaching with Physical Computing will set you on the path to becoming an expert in delivering Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the classroom.
The Arm School Program’s suite of professional development courses introduces you to the world of Physical Computing and how to apply it through Project-Based Learning in the classroom. We demonstrate how programmable physical computing devices, such as the Micro:bit, Raspberry Pi and Arduino, enable educators to apply a constructionist approach to computing education, focussing classroom learning experiences around real world problem-solving.
In this self-paced experience, the program will lead you towards mastering PBL: the pedagogy, its practical application and supporting educational theoretical principles. It also covers how to embed Project-Based Learning into your curriculum, as well as how to assess it effectively. By completing this program, you will acquire a comprehensive toolkit of concepts and techniques that you can apply with confidence in the classroom.
