This document discusses bringing innovation to schools. It begins with questions about how to bring innovation to different areas like student learning, schedules, assessments, spaces, creativity, and leadership. The challenges of innovation in schools are presented, along with action steps like finding allies and removing roadblocks. Specific innovations are then outlined, such as adopting a 21st century mindset, design thinking, transdisciplinary education, and performance tasks. Contact information is provided for three people involved in innovation efforts at Mount Vernon schools.
Come ready to make things happen. In under one hour we will discuss 5 questions about makerspaces, dive into the importance of focusing on the culture of a makerspace and not the tools. Additionally, the audience will undergo a build, play, and share cycle through a hands on immersive challenge to experience the culture before walking away with your own set of LEGO pieces to get started. Audience will learn how to apply these ideas into any classroom and school.

The famous educational philosopher, John Dewey, stated “We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience.’ Maker education involves hands-on and experiential activities. Learning can occur through the act of making but having learners reflect on their making experiences increases the likelihood of learning. It is not left to chance.

Empowering New Programmers Through Introductory Arduino WorkshopsHailee Kenney
This talk was presented at SeaGL 2019
"Do you remember the first time you fell in love with programming? The joy that you felt the first time you wrote some code and saw your very first “Hello World”? For some of us it was a BASIC program, for others it was a GeoCities page. Those experiences inspire us to want to learn more and explore the limits of technology. This is the kind of experience that I try to cultivate when organizing introductory programming workshops. Many beginners find learning programming intimidating and it’s our role as teachers to show them that they’re capable and help create an experience that lets them fall in love with programming.
In this talk I'll discuss some key lessons I've learned through my own experiences organizing introductory programming workshops, and give some tips on how to organize your own. I'll also discuss two introductory workshops I've organized, including a particularly successful introductory Arduino workshop that I gave to a group that had no prior programming experience. This workshop was relatively low effort but had a big impact on those that attended. It’s my hope that everyone can walk away from this talk with the tools and inspiration they need to put on a similar workshop in their own community."
Our ability to continuously learn and adapt will determine the extent to which we thrive in today’s organizations, in our personal lives, and in these disruptive times. This session will provide tips for learning at the pace of change in the university or the workplace using lynda.com. You will walk away with 9 learning strategies that you can put into practice right away!
