QTN-T workshop: Implementation of Computational Thinking and Self-Directed Learning with BBC micro:bit

On 28th September 2020, hands-on workshop integrating computational thinking and self-directed learning was held in our QTN-T project school --- Yuk Yin School. Not only teachers teaching Mathematics, General Studies and Computer subjects, Chinese and English subject teachers, curriculum development officer and school principal Mr Lam actively participated during this 1.5-hour workshop.

In order to ingratiate teachers from different educational backgrounds, our workshop was divided in two parts. First, computational thinking and self-directed Learning was introduced by instructor Mr Karl Cheung. With ideas of Computational Thinking and Self-Directed Learning, multiple of problem solving tasks with micro:bit were executed by whole school teachers. Tasks utilised different computational thinking skills including algorithm, pattern recognition, decomposition and abstraction etc.
