DTAL Conference 2026

How can we make computer science feel like a natural extension of core content rather than an "extra" task? This interactive session introduces educators to the Micro:Bit, a pocket-sized, programmable computer designed to make coding tangible and accessible. Participants will move beyond isolated coding by engaging in a content connected activity. You will build and transfer block-based programs mastering fundamental CS concepts like algorithms, inputs and outputs. Educators will leave with a solution-oriented framework to collaborate with instructional technology specialists, utilize your school’s class set of Micro:Bits, and bring curriculum standards to life through student-centered exploration.
