Technology Playground
Explore. Experiment. Play.
No experience required!
Technology Playground is a hands-on space where anyone can explore educational technology in a fun, low-pressure environment.
What’s inside:
Coding & Robotics Tools
- Programmable robots (e.g., Sphero, Ozobot, Finch)
- Early learner coding toys (e.g., Codapillar, CodaMouse)
App-Enhanced Learning Kits
- Tablet-based tools like Osmo for interactive learning
- Educational apps for coding, math, and literacy
Unplugged Activities
- Hands-on tools for teaching coding concepts without screens
- Great for young learners and classroom demos
Why it matters:
- With new K–12 computer science requirements from House File 2629, this space helps future educators build confidence with tech tools through play, curiosity, and collaboration.
- Technology is everywhere, and today’s classrooms demand educators who are ready to integrate digital tools, foster computational thinking, and prepare students for a tech-driven future. The Playground is your space to explore what that can look like.
We are here to support you!
If you’d like to learn about a specific tool, bring your students in, brainstorm ideas for integrating technology into your class or assignments — or just geek out — please talk to Magda Galloway.
Let’s have fun together in the spirit of a growth mindset!
