NewTechKids has been invited by MOCCA to host two teacher training sessions during its Cultural Education Conference on April 6th at the Meervaart Theatre in Amsterdam. The conference is part of MOCCA’s 2016 Month of Cultural Education.
MOCCA is an Amsterdam organization which advises schools and cultural institutions in the design and implementation of cultural education.
During the sessions, NewTechKids will train primary school teachers to give one of its lessons which combines technology and computer science education with arts education. We’ll also challenge them to develop additional ideas for using arts education to teach computational thinking and key coding concepts to students in groups 1-8 (ages 4-12 years). The workshops will not involve computers or software.
