9:00am EDT

Engaging students using physical computing and python programming
Monday September 21, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
182-RHS: Room TBA @ 530 Rue Northcote, Rosemère, QC J7A 1Y2, Canada
In this workshop participants will learn how to code a simple physical computing setup on a Raspberry Pi using motors, lights, etc. and python programming language.  It will be an opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the equipment and practice a coding exercise which you could then adapt or use on your equipment back at your school.

This workshop will be aimed at beginners and teachers who may be interested in this topic but may not know how to get started or how to incorporate physical computing using a Raspberry Pi computer.
