Classroom Leaders
Take a walk along the #MakeItHappen Tinker Trail, an immersive, hands-on journey through the world of classroom innovation. This interactive space features a series of maker stations that progress from no-tech to high-tech, each offering a challenge designed to spark creativity and problem-solving.
As you explore, you’ll experiment with different tools and approaches that can be adapted for classrooms, makerspaces, and beyond. Complete challenges, collect punches on your trail card, and enter to win exciting prizes while discovering new ways to bring authentic learning experiences to students.
Come ready to tinker, play, and imagine, because innovation starts when you #MakeItHappen! Brought to you by Book Creator, Kami, Nurcs, Boxlight, Stemfinity, and Teq.
Stations include: creating your digital journal with Book Creator & Kami, building a seemingly gravity-defying structure with Nurcs, conducting an experiment while collecting data with Xploris and Boxlight, sparking your creativity with a laser engraver and STEMfinity, and creating a custom butterfly using 3D printers and pens with Teq!
This special event is hosted by educator and author of 3DU, Keven Rinaman. There will also be a special announcement made during the event! Be sure to come by to hear all about some exciting news!
