This year, Constructing Modern Knowledge offers two incredible hands-on pre-institute workshops on July 8th from 9 AM to 3 PM for institute attendees interested in enhancing their learning experiences. These workshops are optional and not included in CMK 2024 registration.
You will be able to register for these workshops during the CMK registration process. These workshops run at the same time — you cannot register for both!
Workshop #1: Creative Computing
Gary Stager will lead a workshop on computational creativity. More details to come.
Workshop #2: Introduction to Learning with Electronics

Jumpstart your CMK 2024 learning adventures by joining veteran educators and longtime CMK faculty member Tracy Rudzitis in her popular workshop, Introduction to Learning with Electronics, where electronics and coding are demystified. Learn about circuits, switches, power. Learn to program the low-cost and incredibly powerful BBC micro:bit and build whimsical robotics projects with the Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit. This focused, nurturing, and relaxed workshop provides a solid foundation for Constructing Modern Knowledge project development!
You will be able to register for these workshops during the CMK registration process. But remember, these workshops run at the same time — you cannot register for both!
