During each of the six breakout sessions throughout the weekend, a large number of conversations will take place. This site will help you organize your plan for the weekend and provide the relevant information for each conversation. After signing in, search through the conversations below and mark the sessions you are interested in to populate your personal schedule on the right (or below if on your mobile phone).
STEAM should not be siloed into one-off spaces or projects. This session will take you through the process of creating a unit that combines subtractive manufacturing with CNC machines, the design process, and ELA standards to create historic markers for people, places, or events in Philadelphia with the students who made them.
Explore with other educators how they teach (or don’t) life skills in their classrooms. Learn from students what they most want to learn, and discuss tricks to sneak these adulting lessons into your existing curriculum and school day. Hear from existing and former students how adulting lessons have impacted their transition into their independent lives.
