uring this workshop, I presented for the first time the concept of embedded system programming at school. I got teachers from primary school to high school and in different filed (Sport, Technology …)
Usually, workshops for teachers are challenging for me because they ask a lot a questions and they don’t mind criticizing the pedagogy of the teacher when they don’t understand. For this workshop, I did not get any problem and I think that there is 2 main reasons.
First, this group of TAT teachers are the finalist after a several steps of selection based on their technical skills. Second, Arduino programming is a lot of fun because we don’t spend time on wiring and coding is easy with blocs. So teacher could see the result of any program very quickly. I was very happy to see my students sharing this workshop on social media which means that they love the experience. In this photo, you can see a sport teacher who ‘fall’ in love with Arduino!
I am Adel Kassah, a computer science teacher in middle school from Tunisia. Now, I am working in the UAE (ABU DHABI) I try to promote coding culture in my country and around the world. I run after school club about programming to kids. I teach them how to make their own games, their own Android App. They learn how to program embedded system and Robotics. I also cooperate with association around Tunisia and share my expertise. I develop my own tool or improve existing one. I made several presentation in conferences about Technology and coding. Lately I was interested about the world of Internet of Things. I made a tool TUNIOT that makes easy programming the NODEMCU board.
My blog is a place where I share my experience to the world.
Welcome everyone! I am happy to see visitors from around the world, from places where I've been and from others I would love to visit. It is always a pleasure to see the map of visitor.
Don't hesitate to contact me for a cooperation.
