Physical Computing for Teachers Conference

We are pleased to announce our latest physical computing training courses. There will be a two-day course in Choma on 19th/20th September and a similar course in Siavonga District on 23rd/24th September. Attendees will need to bring a laptop with Thonny installed and will be given the other necessary kit to take back to school with them. Registration is now closed.

 

Amongst our previous successful events, we held a two-day physical computing course in Choma on 3rd and 4th June 2024, and a similar course in Monze on 6th and 7th June 2024.

This was a great opportunity for teachers interested in IT to enhance their understanding of various aspects of physical  computing.
