Marty v2 NS021 / B23
Summary
This course will provide an introduction to Marty V2, and how this fantastic resource can be used to enhance engagement in Computing Science principles and concepts across the primary setting. While this PL is targeted primarily at First/Second level, Marty V2 can be used as an unplugged Computing Science resource or with the Marty Jnr. blocks in the early years, and also cover outcomes into Third level and beyond.
We will encourage hands on practical experience with Marty V2 through a full day, face to face session at SSERC, run by Education Managers from both SSERC and Robotical. During this session we will consider the full scope of Marty V2; from an unplugged resource, through to block based programming via the Marty app. We will look at how we can teach Computing Science concepts using Marty V2, help develop vital skills for life, learning and work, and consider the extensive teaching resources available to support.
To apply for this course please do so via SSERC website in the first instance https://www.sserc.org.uk/professional-learning/digital-clpl/ Shortly after the published closing date for applications the Administration Team at SSERC will contact applicants and send to successful applicants: • confirmation of an offer of a place on the course together with details on enrolment procedures • information on ENTHUSE funding and how to apply • a set of terms and conditions which you must meet in order to qualify for an ENTHUSE funding
