School-IT at Didapro
First course & call for participation!
Our first course is ready 😀
It is already set up in two schools in Namur (Communauté Scolaire Sainte-Marie Namur and Institut Technique de Namur) in four classes with various profiles.
Devoxx4Kids
A new Devoxx4Kids day was organized in our Faculty this Saturday, October 28th. It was an opportunity for us to do a micro-bit workshop. We proposed an “electroacoustic” workshop which was a moment of recreation for the children, kept sitting in most other workshops. We welcomed them in a place where they were offered to mix electrical circuits and music.
WallCode : teacher training sessions
On Wednesday 11 and 18 October, a training session about digital education taked place in the University of Namur as part of WallCode. This six hour session was organized for teachers and conducted by Julie Henry. Ten teachers participated and learned about digitization of information, formal processing, working of a computer system and core concepts of procedural programming.
Explanation of the fonctioning of the electric piano
As promised in the article about the electric piano, here’s how it works.
First project : electric piano
Today we pushed our creativity to a whole new level 🙂 We created a wonderful piano… with a single octave, yet lots of cables.
This first project allows us to talk about several different concepts, in particular music (music notes and octaves) and physics (electrical circuits and conductor componants).
Arrival of equipment
This Wednesday around 2 pm, we received 450 micro:bits and 400 protective cases. Among these 450 micro:bits, 250 are for schools as part of the School-IT project and 200 are for students from 1st bachelor as part of another project named micro:PUNCH. Once we opened the packages, we realised the long work that was awaiting us. We had to assemble each little case on the micro:bit… one by one… by hand.
