See you there?

NYSCATE's annual conference is in just a few days! I'm excited to be presenting on Monday and Tuesday. Monday is "Travel the World with Google MyMaps."  Tuesday, come hear us talk about how we started our GETT and SETT (Girls / Students Empowered Through Technology) summer camps. Have you tried Google CS First, Lego EV3, Finch Robots, Makey-Makey, Little Bits and Dash and Dot? During this session, we will share successes and obstacles from our technology camps and clubs, give you pointers for running your own club and time to play too.Learning creative ideas for running two technology camps and clubs within our school district, participants hopefully will be inspired to take this idea back to their own district.
