• 3D Printing/Drones

  Teachers and/or students who participate in this workshop will receive a free Sindoh 3DWOX1 3D printer for their classroom use. The workshop will go through all features and teach you how to operate the 3D printers. Attendees also will learn how to use the slicer app and gain tips on technical 3D printing. Teachers and/or students who participate in this workshop will also receive a free set of drones. The workshop will go through the features of the drones and teach you how to fly. In addition, you will be capable of programming the drones to fly autonomously! We will cover the concepts of an upcoming drone competition to show off your flying skills!

   

• Unlocking Literacy

  There will be an all-day session on Saturday with Kristin DiPerri and Todd Czubek. Participants will be given an overview of the foundations of literacy, review the application of ASL/English bilingual strategies to literacy instruction, and be given strategies for ASL composition, comprehension, vocabulary study, and ways to include ASL literacy skills throughout the curriculum. Sessions will be suitable for a range of age levels and will address literacy in a developmental context. Additional sessions will include information on using the Dash robot in academics and how to develop related activities for classroom instruction, as well as, integrating IXL into the ELA/mathematics classroom. On-site participants will receive a Dash robot.
