April 23-24
On April 20th, Shodor embarked on another international workshop experience to Universidad EAFIT in Medellin, Colombia. This workshop was geared towards teacher educators interested in incorporating inquiry-based projects into their science and math curriculum, particularly engineering.
Participants had a hands-on introduction to computational thinking through an inquiry-based approach and how it can be applied to an engineering curriculum. Participants also had an opportunity to collaborate with educators from across South and Latin America. They discussed methods of teaching, challenges that they face, as well as potential collaborations between several countries and universities.
