Strawbees 101: No-Code Coding with CodeJoy You don’t need a computer science degree to teach coding — just creativity and the right tools. Join CodeJoy’s Amanda Jeane Strode and STEAM teacher Rhonda Smith for a fun, hands-on webinar exploring no-code coding strategies that make computational thinking accessible for every classroom. You’ll learn how to use the Use-Modify-Create framework, get a tour of the Strawbees Classroom platform, and discover activities that spark student ownership, creativity, and engagement — all without writing a single line of code. Walk away with ready-to-use lessons, teacher-tested insights, and inspiration to bring coding to life with your students. Download the webinar resources | Watch |

Build an AI Magic Wand with micro:bit – Tom Lauwers & MakerEd Did you know a micro:bit can become a magic wand with a little sprinkling of AI fairy dust? Tom Lauwers will show you how to use micro:bit’s new CreateAI tool to train a gesture recognition model to recognize motion patterns on a micro:bit attached to a “magic wand”. Via radio, this micro:bit will then become the controller of other micro:bits or micro:bit-powered robots, allowing the wand to control animatronics and robotics at a distance. | Watch |

Machine Learning Magic Wands and Robots Virtual Workshop Join the BirdBrain Team in collaboration with the Logo Foundation as we get hands-on with Machine Learning to turn a wand magical. We’ll train a model to recognize different motions that we will make with a micro:bit that has been placed on the end of a wand. We’ll use that model along with the MakeCode blocks coding environment to command a second micro:bit, or a micro:bit-enabled robot, such as a Finch or a Hummingbird. | Watch |
