The course is great

The course is great! But it's just that my English ability is not good, I can only rely on translation software, and the translation software can't accurately turn out the content of the lecture.After all, some are special vocabulary.If you can synchronize the translation on the wire, I think it will be better.

Hurray for day 2!

I had no idea what I was doing when I signed up. I came away frustrated the first night because it was fast paced and I had technical challenges. I reached out to Emily the following day and we were able to make sense of the material. This made night 2 (1.2) way more enjoyable. I was able to engage and had a better understanding of what we were doing. I look forward the next series.

I was in awe of how engaging this…

I was in awe of how engaging this course was, especially considering the following: 1) the wide range of ability levels among us, 2) that you were dealing with multiple tech platforms and websites, and it all worked (!!), 3) the fact that not all of us have the hardware at home, but we were still able to follow along.
I am a newbie to coding, and I'm all for it after this course! Can't wait to try it out over the summer!

Informative, Inspiring and Practical

Informative, Inspiring and Practical

I thoroughly enjoyed the training, it was engaging and useful. The practical elements offered details into how the hardware and software worked, the curriculum information spoke to how everything was linked across the curriculum and understanding the thoughts and principals behind the whole project was inspiring. Well done and thank you.

Having the samlab kits in my school just recently, is very excited. With the support and courses provided, I love how they support the educators in giving the best for the students in teaching and learning particularly in STEAM interdisciplinary subjects and fun activities. The potential is limitless.

Very satisfied educator

After extensive research, we chose SAM Labs due to their portability, robustness, quality software programs and overall performance benefits.

Since then, there's been a workbench integration and full curriculum offerings with excellent Teacher P.D which have eased our workload and really empowered teachers.

Initially, we only used the SAM blocks for Coding in the Grade 3 - 12 space, however, we have broadened this out into Engineering and STEAM by integrating Lego and Fischertechnik as the construction elements with SAM Labs as processing/automation.

SAM Labs is teacher focused and their standalone wireless blocks are great for the classroom, workshops or demos.

Fun learning

The instructor is knowledgeable, skillful and friendly. But I hope she can speak a little slower as i am not familiar with her accent. She moved on too fast, before I actually finish typing of my response to the activities.

The course content is good. I leant a lot of new things. I am first time learner on coding and computational thinking. The joy of discovering new knowledge and skills is moving me heading to Level 2.

Thank you.
