Logo Summer Institute 2020
Event Information
Description
July 20-31, 2020
The Logo Summer Institute is a workshop in creative computing for K12 teachers, parents, and technology integrators. It offers an opportunity to explore constructionist technologies and programmable learning environments.
For the past 40 years The Logo Summer Institutes have been face-to-face workshops providing a relaxed atmosphere with a small group of colleagues and a great deal of personal attention from experienced workshop leaders. The Covid-19 Pandemic requires some modifications. The 2020 Logo Summer Institute will be a virtual experience, conducted via Zoom and online discussion groups. The workshop will take place over two weeks with a flexible schedule. Some meetings will be intended for all participants, but for the most part, you will attend small-group sessions geared to your own needs and interests. You will be able to determine your own best schedule for working independently on your projects.
Learn to code as you explore and create projects using Scratch, Makey Makey, micro:bit, Hummingbird, and a variety of other hardware and software platforms.



The fundamentals of the Logo Summer Institute will be the same as they have always been:
- a project-based approach that supports computational thinking, and STEAM learning and teaching.
- an individualized program that accommodates novices as well as more experienced participants, teachers of different subjects, those who teach in after-school programs and other informal settings as well as in classrooms, and teachers who are currently working in virtual classrooms.
- a model of how to organize teaching and curriculum; this year with an emphasis on remote teaching and learning strategies.
