SUMMARY:Computational Making & Learning for Creative Educators - The Language of Computation
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gary Stager is bringing an exciting new workshop to Melbourne\, Victoria 27 February 2026! \nComputational making recognizes that the future is computational. Making things with code expands the creative canvas\, supercharges mathematical thinking\, and positions learners to explore the frontiers of nearly any discipline. \nDeveloping computational fluency allows students of all ages to solve problems\, make cool things\, and make things work. Exciting new software tools allow teachers and students to engage in computational making without the barriers posed by syntax in traditional programming languages. \nThis workshop’s playful and practical experiences will help any educator shape the learning environment to support computational making and help students learn and do in ways unimaginable before. This approach offers an optimistic learner-centered vision of artificial intelligence that amplifies human potential grounded in timeless progressive traditions. \nProject-based learning (PBL) appeals to many educators\, even those who don’t know where to start or are unclear what exactly constitutes a project. By recasting PBL as a “Learning Adventure” we can celebrate connections\, wonder\, inquiry\, research\, and depth. Participants will be inspired to level-up and create learning adventures in their classrooms using exciting new software environments and a project-approach. \nThe Workshop’s Learning Adventures Include\n\nComputational design with Turtle Art\nDesigning microworlds with Snap!\nPhysical computing with the BBC micro:bit\nVibecoding\nThe Wolfram Notebook Assistant + LLM Kit\n\nWhat’s Included?\n\n\n\nFull-day hands-on workshop\nCopy of the new book\, The Learner’s Apprentice – AI and the Amplification of Human Creativity ($47 value)\nLight lunch
