  • $475.00 plus HST (536.75 including HST)
    This workshop offers a range of benefits for teachers who want to teach robotics, coding and STEM concepts using the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robot and Scratch-based programming software. The workshop is particularly well-suited for teachers who are new to programming and wish to learn the fundamentals of robot programming as well as the pedagogy associated with our standards-aligned lessons. However, experienced teachers with programming and robotics backgrounds will also benefit from the course, especially with its focus on the LEGO® Education LEARNING System.
    Attendees will leave with a LEGO Education Spike Prime Set and complete access to LEGO Education Professional Development.

  • $425.00 plus HST ($480.25 including HST)
    This workshop is designed especially for elementary school teachers! In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to integrate coding and robotics into your classroom using the innovative SPIKE Essential tool that allows you to introduce coding and robotics to your students in a fun and engaging way. The workshop will cover the basics of coding, robotics, and engineering design, using SPIKE Essential.
    You will also learn how to integrate SPIKE Essential into your curriculum and use it to enhance learning across subjects such as science, math, and language arts.
    Throughout the workshop, you will work in teams to complete challenges and projects that reinforce the concepts you learn. You will also collaborate with other teachers and share best practices.
    At the end of the workshop, you will walk away with a SPIKE Essential Kit and the skills and knowledge to bring coding and robotics into your classroom while inspiring your students to explore the exciting world of technology. So come join us and let’s have some fun with LEGO Education SPIKE Essential!
