Come and explore the Innovation Summit at RoboCup 2018! This Summit offers a unique variety of workshops for teachers, students and passionate makers at all levels to learn about the world of robotics and AI. Workshops for coding and hands-on robotic skill-building, as well as challenges for making and coding will be offered by international industry leaders, teachers, professionals and experts.
see overall schedule hereWorkshops Include:
3 day roboparty
Participants register in teams of 4 (Ideally, 3 students + 1 mentor/teacher) to learn how to construct and program a robot. Teams will leave with their own robot to take back to their school! This workshop is facilitated by the RoboCup Portugal International Delegation. Please BYOD.
RoboCamp - Make * Code * Challenge
Participants register in teams of four to work together to build a robot and solve challenges. This workshop is facilitated by the RoboCup Singapore International Delegation. Participants will leave with a copy of the coding application. Please BYOD.
Two-hour workshops for adults or students will include the following topics:
- iRobot STEM program for Educators

#teacherslearningcode
June 19-20, 2018
8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
What is Teachers Learning Code? Using technology to change the world through teamwork, creativity, and of course, code. Teachers Learning Code is a program designed by Canada Learning Code, a national charity focused on inspiring kids to be builders - not just consumers - of technology through coding lessons and challenges. Teachers Learning Code is an approach to introducing coding that can be scaled back or expanded depending on the needs of your group of learners. Our programming can be facilitated by non-technical or technical educators and youth program managers within schools and existing community groups. Our series of 'how-to' guides and coding challenges are designed for K-12 learners. They were all created with the core elements and features that our programs and known and loved for. Please bring your own laptop - BYOD.
