Students will learn child-friendly apps to develop skills in coding to support participation in our increasingly digital world. Course participants will explore maker pedagogies, including maker spaces available in communities and how to create maker spaces with loose parts. Students will investigate how to develop creative and critical thinking within inclusive inquiry-based learning environments and to incorporate coding and maker pedagogies to be equity-supportive in the Canadian Context.
