This PD will suit anyone focusing on the Digital Technologies context of the Science and Technology K-6 or the Technology Mandatory 7-8 Syllabus’ and for those who want to broaden their coding in the classroom activities. MakeCode is a block-based coding platform that allows students to build their computational thinking and coding skills using physical devices like Micro:Bit and Lego Mindstorms, along with pure digital experiences like Minecraft: Education Edition or MakeCode Arcade. This workshop will see teachers explore the potential of MakeCode with Micro:Bit and learning how to code with MakeCode Arcade, how to access the MakeCode curriculum resources, and completing a simple MakeCode challenge.Kath Lollback STEM T4L Leader NSW Information Technology DirectorateP & S3TAS curriculum projects for Technology Mandatory, Engineered Systems This workshop will be a hands on session covering some basic housekeeping for schools in regard to where they should be with Technology Mandatory, sharing some project ideas for Digital Technologies and Engineered Systems and a short engineering challenge for participants. Teams will compete in a simple engineering challenge that could be used in their school and then compare their achievements to the other two satellite venues via a video linkup.Laura ProfilioSyllabus Support Officer NSW Department of EducationLisa Beacher TAS Curriculum Officer NSW Department of EducationS4Robotics in Realtime The workshop will take a look into how the recent developments in science and technology are shaping up modern robotics. Attendees will also get a chance to interact with some of the robots.Dr Sabih RehmanDirector/Senior LecturerSchool of Computing & MathematicsCharles Sturt UniversityP & S5Deep learning using inquiry in science This workshop explores the use of inquiry-based learning pedagogies in science instruction.Christopher Bormann Curriculum Support Project OfficerSecondary Science AdvisorNSW Department of EducationS6Scratch 3.0 to Text, a learning progressionScratch 3.0 was released at the start of 2019. Its online and secure offline versions provide an easy interface for those new to programming. It provides a steppingstone for secondary students and teachers and is a fantastic way to integrate learning in Primary Education. In this hands-on course we will progress from Scratch to text coding.Peter ThompsonDon’t Panic sTEm curriculum supportRuth ThompsonDon’t Panic sTEm curriculum supportP & S7Building staff capacity in Digital TechnologiesThis workshop will investigate the difference between ICT Capabilities and Digital Technologies and then focus on how to build capacity to effectively implement the mandatory digital technologies using online courses, tools and free resources. Meridith will be sharing plenty of resources during her workshop.Meridith EbbsCSER ProjectUniversity of AdelaideP & S8Bioluminescence:- wee beasties that glow in the dark We introduce students to the phenomenon of ‘bioluminescence’. This is production of light by a range of living organisms from mushrooms to marine bacteria and dinoflagellates (sea sparkles). Whilst many people never have the opportunity to see bioluminescence it is surprisingly common particularly in the marine environment and easily observed in the lab or home. The workshop includes a short presentation of the variety of bioluminescent organisms that exist in Australia and where to find them followed by a practical session in which students use cultured bioluminescent bacteria to rapidly assess the effectiveness of antibacterials such as disinfectants, hand sanitisers and even essential oils. We also show them how to observe bioluminescence at home by culturing on rotting squid and oysters...nose pegs not provided!!!!. Dr Nigel Urwin Senior Lecturer in Genetics and Microbiology Charles Sturt University P & Yr 7 & 8Session 2: 2:30pm – 3:30pmNoWorkshopPresenter(s)Focus1Fun with spreadsheets. How maths and spreadsheets apply in the real world This session aims to showcase a series of easy and freely available tools for teachers to use in STEM classrooms to engage students, and make it fun for students to learn STEM subjects. We take the humble spreadsheet and show its use and application in daily life from the digital camera to movies to landscape mapping. We show how pictures become numbers and numbers become pictures.We will take you step by step through some of the tools including how to turn your face into a spreadsheet. Bring a laptop with a camera or a phone.Peter Thew Senior Engineer Charles Sturt University Engineering Jim Morgan Professor of Engineering Charles Sturt University EngineeringS2Coding in the Classroom with Microsoft MakeCode Arcade Come along and experience Microsoft MakeCode!

This session will involve workshopping and presenting a number of Adobe’s free mobile apps as well some in the Creative Cloud that teachers and students are working with in classrooms around the globe to enhance digital literacy, creativity, engagement and communication.To make the most of this session, participants are encouraged to bring a laptop with Photoshop CC installed and if they have an iOS device (iPhone or iPad) they should download the following appsAdobe Spark VideoAdobe AeroAdobe FrescoSteve Nichols Solutions Account Manager AdobeP & S4An introduction to the SeaPerch Underwater Robotics ProgramSeaPerch is an innovative underwater robotics program that equips teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in an in-school or out-of-school setting. During this session you will learn how to build and operate your very own SeaPerch Underwater Robot. You will be given a kit and guided through the build process. To make things more interesting we will have some challenges for you that will require your awesome problem-solving and teamwork skills.Lloyd GodsonScience and Marine Studies TeacherHastings Secondary College, Westport CampusP5Gaining Insights through Mathematical ModellingMathematical modelling is the bridge between mathematics and the real world. This session will discuss and deliver open and authentic activities with intrinsic value that extend students’ thinking skills through the working mathematically components. With ever increasing access to data and greater demands to use it effectively, mathematical modelling develops students’ dispositions to make strategic and informed decisions.School-based leader to represent NSW Department of Education Mathematics Curriculum Support TeamS6Deep learning using inquiry in science This workshop explores the use of inquiry-based learning pedagogies in science instruction.Christopher Bormann Curriculum Support Project OfficerSecondary Science AdvisorNSW Department of EducationS7Healthcare in a rapidly changing world: Are soft skills and humanism the answer?From bio-printing to deep learning and telehealth, healthcare is evolving and changing at an astounding pace. Our rapidly changing health environment challenges how we educate and train our healthcare professionals and the knowledge, skills and attributes they will increasingly need. This interactive workshop will first explore emerging trends and advancements in healthcare through the lens of medical imaging and will then examine the role of soft skills in healthcare education.Johnathan HewisSenior Lecturer Medical ImagingCharles Sturt UniversityS8Bioluminescence:- wee beasties that glow in the dark We introduce students to the phenomenon of ‘bioluminescence’.
