Greetings, all,

development in the area of hands-on, maker learning, consider Design Do
Discover, in Palo Alto this June 21-23. More info below.
Best,
Jole

<https://dynamicland.org/>!)*

*Kick off your summer with other FABulous MAKER educators!*

This workshop is for educators who are passionate about student-centered,
constructionist learning and interested in the practical implementation of
hands-on projects in the K-12 setting. In particular, the focus is on
empowering participants to become joyful maker educators and to imagine how
they can integrate making into the daily life of their school setting.

Participants will:

   - Collaborate with others to identify, ideate, and prototype hands-on
   projects relevant to your teaching, with guidance from our team of coaches
   - Gain hands-on experience with some of the major tools of a maker lab,
   ranging from "low tech" materials to laser cutter, 3D printer, and
   programmable microcontrollers.
   - Attend pop-up sessions, taught by our wonderful team of coaches, to
   get an introduction to some maker tools/techniques/skills
   - Meet like-minded educators and become part of a community of maker
   educators

*Note: We welcome all educators, whether they have access to professional
development funds at their school or not. Therefore, some financial support
will be available to those who apply and we will try to accommodate as many
requests as possible.*

*Design Do Discover is not your typical conference.*

Rather than sitting and listening to presentations, attendees are expected
to be active participants and will be working in small teams to design and
build projects for two full days. You *DO NOT* need to have prior
experience with the tools of a maker lab, but you *DO* need to arrive ready
to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. This conference is for
you if you think collaborating with colleagues in a fast-moving, slightly
messy, and at times chaotic environment sounds really fun!

During the two days, you also have the option to attend pop-up sessions
that introduce various maker tools/techniques/skills. BUT, we are
intentionally not releasing a list of topics for these sessions for two
reasons:

1) Sessions will be held based on participant interest, i.e. we want to
know what you want to learn instead of us telling you what you should learn
2) The point of D3 is NOT to attend these sessions all day long!

*The main goal of the two days is to construct your own knowledge through
hands-on project work individually or in small groups. We believe that your
project should guide what tools/skills/techniques you learn instead of the
other way around. Please do not come to Design Do Discover expecting to
attend these pop-up sessions for two full days. We have an incredible crew
of coaches and you will certainly learn a lot even if you do not end up
taking any pop-up sessions!*
