Problem Based Learning Supplies & Python Programming Ideas
Help me give my students the tools for exploring real world careers through problem based learning activities. Sharpie markers, cardstock and post-it notes are great when brainstorming solutions for the various careers they investigate.

I teach CTE classes in middle school. I love how my students are learning to problem solve and use computational thinking as they learn to program in the Python language. They are moving from a block based coding environment and learning to write line code.
Some of my students are English Language Learners who also struggle with language arts.
It amazes me how much they desire to learn and understand the computer science skills, which is essentially a new language for them.
It is fun to encourage my College and Career Awareness students as they explore various career clusters and pathways through problem based learning. Engineering simulations, entrepreneurship, health science pathways, and building/construction trades are just a few we’ve explored so far.
My Project
Providing ideas for Python programming with the book "Creative Coding in Python: 30+ Programming Projects in Art, Games, and More" and "Coding for Kids: Python: Learn to Code with 50 Awesome Games and Activities" will provide enrichment activities for students to extend their learning.
The Logitech C920x HD Pro Webcam will provide student opportunities to create video products for the artifacts they create in their Project based learning experiences.
In addition, it will allow for better teacher/student interaction through zoom conferencing when students are working from home because of illness and quarantine during the pandemic.
