Teaching Python Programming with Strype

Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences

A workshop for teachers to learn a novel way to teach python in schools

MB 2.2, Macadam Building

This workshop provides an introduction to teaching Python programming in UK schools using the Strype programming environment. The workshop is for teachers who are currently teaching Python programming, or wishing to find out how to approach this task.Strype is a new frame-based Python programming environment running in a web browser and is available at <a href="/app/projects/website/entries/strype.org" title="/app/projects/website/entries/strype.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">strype.org</a>. Frame-based systems provide easier code entry and manipulation than standard text-based systems, thus aiding learners in progression and avoiding frustrations.This workshop will introduce frame-based editing and the Strype system. It will also provide pedagogical discussion and programming examples, which can be used directly in the classroom. <h2>Workshop details</h2>This free workshop will be offered on the following dates:<ul><li>25 November at 17:30-19:30</li><li>10 December at 14:00-16:00</li></ul>The content of the sessions will be the same. Each session will start with a networking opportunity, followed by an introduction to Strype and hands on python programming using Strype.You must be teaching at a school to be eligible for a place.The sessions will take place in room MB-2.1 of the Macadam Building in the King's College Strand Campus. <h2>Organised by:</h2><a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/computing-education" title="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/computing-education" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Computing Education Research Centre</a>, King’s College LondonPresenters: Professor Michael Kölling, Dr Neil Brown, Dr Pierre Weill-TessierThe presenters have long experience with the research and practice of the teaching and learning of programming. They have published numerous papers on the pedagogy of early programming education, have more than 20 years’ experience in teaching programming, and have developed successful educational software environments. They are the developers of Strype.
