VII. Workshop on STEM Education Resources: Introducing the BBC Micro Bit- Robotics for Ethiopia (Promoter: Abebe Kebede)

Information and communication technologies  help students access learning materials that enhance their classroom learning.  The most recent STEM learning tools and environments allow students to gain practical and pointed experiences for deep learning.  These practical experiences engage the students in both hands  activities that allow students to learn  methods of measurement,  plot graphs, and determine physical quantities interactively.  The recently introduced BBC Micro Bit and products similar to it are widely used in STEM education. In this workshop we will review STEM and education resources and introduce the BBC Micro bit. Students will learn coding, operate autonomous robots.
