If you haven’t done a #TynkerChat before, you totally should! It’s a great way to connect with educators who are ready to take coding and computer science forward. Below is the mission of #TynkerChat. Vote on next week’s topic, and learn about our award-winning moderator, Todd Burleson!
What is the mission of #TynkerChat?
Let’s put it in the form of a question: Are we adequately preparing students for an unknown future? And can we, through community and sharing, make this unknown known? Our goal with #TynkerChat is to elevate the conversation about making sure that when our students leave school, they have the skills to thrive.
When is #TynkerChat?
#TynkerChat is every Monday, 7pm ET /4pm PT.
