The mission of #TynkerChat: Are we adequately preparing students for an unknown future? Can we, through community and sharing, make this unknown “known?” Let us lift up the conversation about making sure that when our students enter the workforce- they have the skills to thrive.
#TynkerChat will be held every Monday, starting March 13th.
Welcome to this week's #TynkerChat! We're starting a new year of teaching #coding! Tell us who you are and where you're from! Topic: Challenge Based Learning and #coding- start getting ideas!
We'll be using the typical Q & A format! Join the conversation! First question in 2 min! This week we're talking about Challenge Based Learning and Coding. Follow along on our @participate page here: https://t.co/JZuKChWjZP#Tynkerchat
A1: CBL is giving students the tools/ingredients to solve/create a solution to a relevant, real-world, challenge and the teacher becomes more of a guide/facilitator as Ss explore different outcomes. #TynkerChat
A3. A bushwalker is lost.Use your drone to traverse a given area, and locate the bushwalker.
Simulate in a classroom or undercover area.

Pit two groups against each other. Two @ParrotEducation drones. Tell them they have to save the villagers on the other side of the gym. Go! #TynkerChat
Q4: What kinds of government, business, community, or university partners could benefit from Challenge Based Activities and partnerships? Where might you see extensions of this learning? #Tynkerchat
My 6th grade students are working towards programming @Parrott drones using @gotynker to work through an obstacle course they design and build. #TynkerChat
A4 Every industry needs problem solvers. We only need to see some of the poor decisions made by industry and government.
Design Thinking and Challenge Based activities could change our world for the better.

A4: I am looking into having Ss and instructors from FIT and Embry-Riddle come and work us using drones and teach Ss how what they are learning now translates into future careers and technology. #Tynkerchat
This was great! Thank you so much for joining #TynkerChat today! Keep the conversation going all week long with the hashtag! Have a great week and keep sharing your learning!
