In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast, we take a look at how general education teachers can infuse Coding and Programming lessons into their curriculum and package them neatly to be distributed through Google Classroom.

As educators across the world celebrate Computer Science Education Week, it’s important to remember that STEM education, Coding, and Programming are to be explored more than just during the Hour of Code.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Three simple projects that you can bring to your classroom
• Anyone can Learn Arduino and Breadboarding: Using TinkerCAD’s tutorials and virtual breadboarding.
• Modeling the Digestive System with Scratch and Makey Makey https://twitter.com/MsKellyKnight/status/938094787772801029
