SUMMARY:2016 Engineering Deans Institute (EDI) Annual Conference (Sylvia panel)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia is an invited presenter for a panel on innovation at the 2016 Engineering Deans Institute (EDI) Annual Conference \n\nASEE’s annual Engineering Deans Institute (EDI) provides an opportunity for engineering deans- and only deans- to gather and discuss the crucial issues facing their schools\, colleges\, and profession. For a few days\, a single-stream program fosters dialogue between deans\, industry leaders\, and those in important roles in research and government. Deans share best practices\, learn about career prospects for their graduates\, and develop a voice for engineering education and the role of engineering in society. Social activities and plenty of time for conversation encourage the cultivation of relationships and an intensely rewarding experience. \nEDI is sponsored by the ASEE Engineering Deans Council and its Executive Board.

SUMMARY:ASB Unplugged (Gary Stager - Featured Speaker & Workshop Leader)
DESCRIPTION:Gary will return to The American School of Bombay for the 5th time and his 3rd ASB Unplugged Conference. \nHis sessions include: \nProgramming: The New Liberal Art – Why and How to Teach It (full-day preconference) \nIn the mid-1960s\, Seymour Papert asked\, “Does the computer program the child or the child program the computer.” Programming is a way of seeing. \nBeyond vocational benefits\, computer programming gives young people agency over an increasingly complex technologically sophisticated world. Programming is fundamental to engineering\, science\, making sense of data\, and mirrors the writing process. If your goals are as modest as to improve achievement in ab otherwise unchanged mathematics curriculum\, then we would teach every child to program computers since programming is one of the few contexts for using the math taught to kids. Without programming\, computational thinking becomes a rhetorical exercise. \nDespite these self-evident benefits\, schools go to extraordinary lengths to deprive students of programming experiences. \nThis workshop will provide hands-on experience with creating beautiful art in Turtle Art\, controlling external devices with Snap!\, and flying drones with Tickle (an iPad dialect of Scratch). Examples of K-8 programming integration projects will be shared and we will look at options for teaching the new Computer Science Principles AP course. Strategies for teaching programming across the curriculum and various grade levels will be discussed. \nMaking: Children\, Computers\, and Powerful Ideas (3-hour talk repeated on consecutive mornings) \nWhile this presentation will explore the virtues of learning-by-making and its theoretical and historical contexts\, we will discuss the structural changes necessary to for schools to gain benefit from the maker movement. We must recognize that making is not new\, but may still become a short-term fad without a coherent constructive educational vision having little to do with the construction of a “space.” The roles of expertise\, continuous growth\, prompt setting\, project development\, and curricular design to create the conditions necessary for sustaining and learning from making.

SUMMARY:NAEYC 3-Hour Workshop  (Gary Stager)
DESCRIPTION:Gary will lead a presentation\, “Learning from the Maker Movement in a Reggio Context\,” at the National Association for the Education of Young Children National Conference in Orlando Florida on November 18th. \nRoom W104\nOrange County Convention Center \nBring a laptop! \nJoin colleagues for three hours of hard fun\, creativity\, and problem solving — where computing meets tinkering and design. The workshop begins with the case for project-based learning\, making\, tinkering\, and engineering. Next\, we will discuss strategies for effective prompt setting. You will view examples of children engaged in complex problem solving with new game-changing technologies and identify lessons for your own classroom practice. Powerful ideas from the Reggio Emilia Approach\, breakthroughs in science education\, and the global maker movement combine to create rich learning experiences. This is where S.T.E.M. and timeless craft traditions super-charge each other. Participants will have the chance to tinker with a range of exciting new low- and high-tech construction materials that can really amplify the potential of your students. Fabrication with cardboard and found materials\, wearable computing\, Arduino micro controllers\, Humingbird robotics\, littleBits\, Circuit Stickers\, Circuit Scribe conductive ink pens and computer programming are all on the menu. Bring a laptop and your imagination. We’ll supply the rest (craft materials\, art supplies\, construction elements). Invention is the mother of learning!

SUMMARY:ISACS 2014 - NEW WAYS TO TEACH\, NEW WAYS TO LEARN (Sylvia)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will be making two featured presentations at the annual Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) conference.  \n 1. Making the Case for “Making” in the Classroom \nThe Maker Movement is a revolutionary global collaboration of people learning to solve problems with modern tools and technology. Adults and children are combining new technologies and timeless craft traditions to create exciting projects and control their world. The implications are profound for schools and districts concerned with engaging students\, maintaining relevance\, and preparing children to solve problems unanticipated by the curriculum. The technological game-changers of 3D printing\, physical computing and computer science require and fuel transformations in the learning environment. K-12 educators can adapt the powerful technology and “can do” maker ethos to revitalize learner-centered teaching and learning in all subject areas. \n2. PBL Gets a “Make”-Over – Prompts\, Scaffolding\, and Assessment for the Maker Classroom \nOf course students should have powerful hands-on project-based experiences in the classroom – but how does that happen? This session will explore how to design engaging prompts with helpful (but not TOO helpful) scaffolding. We will also discuss how to manage the project process when students are using cutting edge technology integrated with iterative design. Participants will learn about new research on assessment for projects and real classroom practices with students using modern technology and materials.

Yet at school\, learning becomes serious and sometimes boring. Why can’t learning at school be like the vibrant\, joyful learning we see at Maker Faire\, and in homes of makers all around the world? \nIn the spirit of Maker Faire and global making\, we will share practical advice for parents of makers\, educators\, and makers themselves who want to re-make schools into places where children love to learn once again. \nIn true Maker fashion\, everyone has a part to play in this revolution!

SUMMARY:How and Why To Teach Children to Code
DESCRIPTION:Presidents\, Prime Ministers\, Silicon Valley billionaires\, and members of the maker community are calling for children to “code.\,” but what does that mean? Web sites and non-profit organizations have been created based on the assumption that self-selecting kids will teach themselves. Such an approach leaves too much to chance and assures inequitable opportunity. A presenter with 30+ years of experience will explore the how\, what\, and why of teaching computer science to children in a developmentally appropriate fashion so they learn a lot more than just how to code. Pedagogical strategies will be shared.
