How can I provide hands-on learning opportunities to my students while teaching remotely? Where can I get started with gardening/circuitry/film/etc.? What low-cost and low-tech activities can I create?
As we start a new school year, these are some of the many questions that educators are considering. Edcamp: Maker Learning is an opportunity for educators to learn and share how they are creating engaging hands-on activities for students during the 2020-21 school year and beyond. Edcamps are free public events that leverage the knowledge and experiences of attendees to create the topics and discussions of the day.
