[Webinar] Coding and the Four Cs

Coding is an essential 21st century language, but coding alone won’t be enough to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s careers. What students are able to DO with code will be what matters. Students will need to be creative problem-solvers in order to truly be ready for whatever lies ahead.

This special webinar features littleBits Founder and CEO Ayah Bdeir, renowned cultural anthropologist Mimi Ito, and superstar librarian Allyssa Loya. They cover everything from integrating coding & the Four Cs (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) to the importance of play in learning.

MIMI ITO, Ph.D.: Professor in Residence and MacArthur Foundation Chair in Digital Media and Learning at UC Irvine. She also serves as Research Director of the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub and as Chair of the Connected Learning Research Network.

ALLYSSA LOYA: All-star librarian and educator from Rockwall, TX who believes it’s her job to present kids with any opportunity that makes them future-ready. She also talks about the success she’s had with coding in her makerspace.
