The Creators Competition was an amazing experience! My son really enjoyed it and he is very happy with his prize. The competition was very well-organized; the instructions were clear and easy to follow. My son found the Prototyping webinar especially helpful and inspiring. The SAM Labs team was extremely kind and supportive throughout and after the competition. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Great creative completion for kids to generate ideas, carry out ideas and communicate ideas. The only thing might need to be improved is the application form, it‘s a little bit confusing specially when applying individual for a group.

My students really enjoyed the event and they were quite excited. As a mentor, I find it difficult to gather information about the event and I feel there was less details on the website and in the event document. This could be better in the next event, however, overall it was a good experience for me and my students.

Lesson 1.1 (delivered via distance…

Lesson 1.1 (delivered via distance learning) was intense, and kind of difficult to follow without having the physical blocks to manipulate as the instructor was pairing, etc. However, the next day, lesson 1.2 (also delivered via distance learning) was much easier to follow and I felt much more applicable to my role this coming year as a science specialist for intermediate elementary grades. I would suggest doing one course solely on Sam Labs and then a different/separate course on workbench. We have a technology teacher at our school who as use the SAM blocks, etc; that will remain his department, and I will be doing more of the engineering and other science content.

Hi Tiffany, thanks for the great feedback! We are sorry that Lesson 1.1 was a bit difficult, it is a very different experience with and without the blocks and we will definitely take that into account when we review our sessions. It is great to hear you had a better experience in 1.2 though! We have thought about splitting the two sessions so it is good to hear feedback on that. We are so excited to have both of you on board!

Great solution and great content

Sam Labs is a great solution for helping to introduce computational thinking into schools. Moreover, the content that has been created allows teachers to impart classes with almost no previous knowledge of this kind of solution even at early years age groups.

This was a great training

This was a great training. I needed more time in the "lab" it took me a while to navigate it but I think I have the basics to get rolling.

Sam Labs kits are great

Sam Labs kits are great. The blocks work well and provide a great example of coding for students that goes beyond the regular block based approach, the setup and take down time is quick and easy and the support is also fantastic.
