Genius Hour: Python Power - Collaborative Classroom Workshop - May 12, 2026

Workshops
Deadline: May 12, 2026

Turn numbers into insight.

In this hands-on workshop, students jump into Python coding and data science using Callysto—a free, Canadian-built platform that runs right in the browser. No setup. No installs. Just real data, real code, and real discoveries.

In just one hour, students will learn to:

  • Explore Python through easy, interactive notebooks
  • Visualize data with charts, graphs, and colourful outputs
  • Spot patterns, test ideas, and make data-driven conclusions
  • See how code explains the world in ways textbooks can’t

Why It’s Awesome: Students learn coding AND critical thinking at the same time. It’s fast, visual, and meaningful—perfect for showing how data powers everything from climate trends to sports stats to everyday decision‑making.

Who It’s For:  Middle/high school teachers and students exploring Math & data literacy, Science & STEM, Computer Studies, Social Studies (data storytelling), and any class wanting a future-ready digital skill boost

What Classroom need for the Hands-on Activity:

  • A classroom computer with access to both platforms (webcam/mic, optional)
  • Student devices with access to Callysto Hub at Callysto.ca (free, Gmail login available)   

RSVP at Connect2Innovate.ca and give your students a front-row seat to the future of tech.
