CMU CS Academy is a free, online, interactive high school programming curriculum. We are providing daily webinars for educators interested in getting started here: https://academy.cs.cmu.edu/coronavirus2020
There are multiple resources in place to support our students and teachers, including a 24/7 support team, interactive notes, quizzes, and tasks, and a teacher network across the world.
My current lab is in a room 30' X 24'. I currently have classes up to 28 students in grades K through 6. I have 32 student computers with 19" monitors (21" across), 1 server, 1 Smartboard with its own computer, my desk and computer, 3 printers, 2 switches, 1 wireless router, 2 external harddrives, and a large screen television.
The lab is moving into a room that is 12' X23'. One of the 12' walls is really windows with heating system under them and the other 12' wall has the entry way door (5' wall - 3' door - 4' wall).
Can someone design the space to accommodate everything? Oh, Smartboard won't be moved.
I am looking for advice and lesson plans for a 9th grade computer class that I just inherited and will be teacher in a month. I would welcome ideas on what works for you to get me started.
I am trying to figure out a quick and easy way to have name, date, table number and block number to automatically print out to pdf (for an entire block or for all my students).
I am thinking for a while about how to teach young generation coding in a funny way. I come up with an idea of a fidget spinner with RGB LEDs and a microcontroller. This idea succeeded in attracting teachers' and parents' attention. But the most important part of the project is drawing students' attraction. Of course being a fidget spinner doing its job but I am talking about the educational part. What kind of coding challenges and tutorials can we prepare? This is the reason I am writing to this board. Please find some code challenge ideas that I came up with [here](http://lightino.org/2017/07/23/code-challenge-number-1/) and [here](http://lightino.org/2017/07/27/code-challenge-number-2/) but we can find others and betters Any help on ideas or preparation of a one-page tutorial content is appreciated.
The fidget spinner has an optical rotation sensor. So determining its speed and number of rotation is possible.
