Part 1: Create Art with Code
Tuesday July 22, 2025 8:45am - 10:15am EDT
TBA
Code is a powerful tool for creation. This goes far beyond making programs and games. In this full day, intermediate workshop attendees will code creative works of art starting with two dimensional imagery, converting 2D to 3D models and explore those creations in 3D virtual space. Throughout the process we will use a variety of tools that incorporate the principles of design, appropriate use of A.I. and encourage creativity. The tools used will be free or a worthwhile freemium, platform neutral, developmental appropriate for students. Once complete, attendees will leave with lessons and video tutorials for a variety of grade levels and content areas.

Part 2: Physics, Code, and Fun: Exploring the World Through Science and Tech
Tuesday July 22, 2025 1:00pm - 2:30pm EDT
TBA
The target audience for this session is middle school science/STEM teachers. The intended level is intermediate to advanced due to the science content standards. The session format is a hands-on workshop. 

Students graph data using Lego Spike Prime kits; they build several devices to visualize energy through graphing data. From Lego - “In this unit, your students will construct, analyze, and/or interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships between types of energy (i.e., metabolic, potential, and kinetic) and an object's acceleration. Developing models to illustrate the amount of energy stored in a system, they'll practice finding mathematical relations and play with statistics and probability to find answers to a scientific question. In doing so, your students must consider the limitations of data analysis (e.g., measurement error) and/or seek to improve the precision and accuracy of data using better technological tools and methods (e.g., multiple trials).”

The lessons are: 1. Stretch the Data: Match graph values and explore margins of error qualitatively. 2. This is Uphill: Graph energy consumption to gain potential energy. 3. Time for Squat Jumps: Graph potential energy at the maximum height of a jump. 4. Watch Your Steps: Explore kinetic energy during a movement at a constant speed. 5. Aim for It: Explore kinetic energy during a movement using variable speed. 6. The Obstacle Course: Illustrate potential and kinetic energy transfer. 

Lessons are aligned to NGSS, CSTA, and ISTE standards. Come and play to learn!

Experience Twine: A Non-Linear Story Creation Tool
Tuesday July 22, 2025 2:45pm - 4:15pm EDT
Take narrative writing to a new level with Twine, an easy-to-use, free, open-source tool your students can use to create interactive, non-linear stories. Like a choose-your-own adventure book, Twine allows writers to build non-linear stories, identifying where choices should be made, and how the choices will impact the plot and character development. In this interactive session, we’ll use narrative writing as a focus when using Twine, and also brainstorm the diverse applications this tool has in a classroom. This session is accessible for beginners, but Twine has depth for those who desire more coding.

Target audience: Third grade lesson but can be adapted for any grade level 3-8
Intended level: Novice
Session format: Session/workshop. 
Content description: We will demonstrate an introductory lesson about 3D printing using a lesson on empathy. Read a story called, "The Gift Inside the Box." Talk about the book and the empathy lesson. Then partner up and interview each other to get to know a bit about them. Design a backpack tag on paper first, one design at a time, showing the partner to see if they like it or if they would like you to fix anything. Once the design is complete, start on TinkerCAD with the assigned template of a backpack tag, and design it like the drawing. Then print it on the 3D printer and gift it to their partner.
