Registration is now open for the 2026 Pathfinders Summer Institute. We are offering the same course as in past years and are excited to get another large cohort of educators to expand their micro:bit knowledge.

**Wisconsin DPI facilitates discussions between school districts on successes and challenges in providing instruction to help each district identify and utilize tools that fit the district's specific needs. Each district should work with its own legal counsel to ensure the use of a particular product complies with state and federal law, including student privacy requirements, as well as local school board policies.**
