Educators today are integrating technology into the classroom in new ways and are looking for
A great instant solution for INTEGRATED STEM, based on PHYSICAL SCIENCE, DIGITAL
TECHNOLOGIES and DESIGN & TECHNOLOGIES. Suitable for Years 4-7 in different ways, but
absolutely perfect for Year 6 to support Science or Year 7 to ensure all the new students are “on the
same page” with basic Technologies skills and Science concepts when they first come to secondary
school.

The 2 hour hands-on workshop will provide an introductory overview of the intention and materials
in the KodeKLIX® + STEM in Practice materials.

Developed through a government Industry Innovations funded collaboration between AISWA and
KodeKLIX®, the program materials address a host of WA Curriculum requirements in science,
technologies and maths/numeracy. Other interdisciplinary links provide further learning opportunities.
The STEM in Practice materials provide teachers with everything needed to start teaching with
KodeKLIX® electronics and block-based coding. The support materials include structured and open-
ended activities, tips and curriculum insights for teachers and a student workbook for reflecting on
concepts presented.
