Cat Lamin<\/a> is running a two day workshop for teachers at Malvern College<\/a> in Worcestershire in conjunction with pi-top<\/a>\u00a0as part of ATI 2017 (Advanced Teacher Institute)<\/a>. The workshop, which costs \u00a3225 ex VAT but including accommodation, runs from 11th-12th April. The first day is a Raspberry Pi extravaganza with sessions on physical computing and Minecraft hacking. The second day is more of a drop-in session using the pi-top where teachers can get used to using both the hardware and software on offer, in the shape of pi-topOS. Each teacher will be using a pi-topCEED during the workshop.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not heard of Cat before, here’s some information about her (she’s generally awesome, actually!):<\/p>\n

Former primary school teacher and real-life geek girl, Cat is enthusiastic about getting teachers and children interested in coding and computing. She is a Raspberry Pi Certified Educator, CAS Master Teacher and Google Certified Educator.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re interested in this\u00a0workshop, head over to ATI and choose the pi-top option from their registration page<\/a>. Alternatively, read more about the workshop in this PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
