  Advancements in technology have profoundly impacted contemporary art, encouraging artists to incorporate technology as part of their art or enable them to manipulate materials in new ways. In doing so, we see a shift in the emphasis from traditional applications of the technology onto more expressive qualities, often allowing for different kinds of innovation.

  This is one in a series of free, afternoon workshops across galleries throughout Victoria. The primary focus of these workshops will be in first learning basic block coding (visual programming language) then using it to interface with micro:bits (popular classroom electronics) to program artworks that move, light up in response to user input. By exploring these concepts contextually within galleries we hope to help demystify technology integrations and boost teacher confidence in using them in a visual art setting. The workshop will be largely hands-on learning with opportunities for reflection on classroom practice.

  Part of a series of hackathons for STEM and Digital Technologies teachers.

  Whether for a Year 7 Makerspace class or a VCE Innovative Project, there’s many ways electronics can be used to address the Digital Technologies learning area in Years 7-12.

  This day has two main goals:

  1. Review the common, popular tech used in secondary schools today, from micro:bit to Arduino to Raspberry Pi. What are the pros and cons of using a breadboard, alligator clips or a dedicated expansion set?
     
     
  2. Talk about the code. How can teachers support secondary students to move beyond the most simple algorithms for their electronics projects?

  
  

  At each hackathon, participants are invited to bring along tools and examples from their own schools to share. The day includes a presentation, a team challenge and opportunities for networking.
  

  
  

  Who Should Attend?

  • Teachers of Years 7-12, including VCE

  • STEM teachers

  • Digital Technologies specialists and learning leaders

  
  

  Standard hackathon day outline

  • 9:30am Welcome and connect time
  • 10:00am Presentation on classroom technology, pedagogy and/or project from teacher or expert

  About the facilitators

  Sanjin Dedic is a robotics engineer and an experienced educator in the field of Digital Technologies. Throughout his teaching career Sanjin has been at the forefront of the latest educational technologies, in 2013 he brought Arduino, 3D printing and the make movement ethos into the classroom, he since authored Python curriculum in use by dozens of Victorian schools and co-authored a book on the BBC micro:bit, both aimed at students in Years 7-10. He currently teaches at the King David School in Melbourne and works with Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria, Teacher Training Australia and The Digital Technologies Hub to share the latest in educational technology and pedagogical approaches with fellow teachers.

  
  

  Nathan Alison taught Digital Technologies, VCE Computing and Software Development in Victoria for 11 years before beginning work for DLTV. He brings a background in Computer Systems Engineering and years of hobby coding, as well as a keen desire to help teachers with more complex Computer Science concepts through clear explanations and relevant activities.
