Kalgoorlie Full Day Workshop - CME Automation and Data Science Challenges for Primary and Secondary Schools

Join CME's Shane Landers for a practical, hands-on one-day professional learning workshop designed for educators delivering the Digital Technologies learning area across primary and secondary years. This session supports teachers to build confidence with the curriculum-aligned CME DigiTech Program, understand student learning progression, and explore how to effectively implement the challenge-based learning across a range of year levels.

Participants will engage with key elements of the scope and sequence, gain experience using equipment such as Bee-Bot, Micro:bit, Micro:car and sensors, and explore strategies for supporting both foundational learners and students ready for extension.
