SUMMARY:COSN 2019 - ENVISION 2030: LEADERSHIP FOR LEARNING
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia Martinez will be a spotlight speaker at ENVISION 2030: LEADERSHIP FOR LEARNING – the COSN Annual Conference. \nSTEAM to the Future: What’s Next in STEAM\, Design\, and Making\n9:15 AM – 9:45 AM: Breakout\nRoom: Atrium Ballroom (Hilton Portland Downtown)\nFormat: Spotlight Session\nPresenters: Sylvia Martinez\, Columbia University FabLearn Fellows\, Principal Advisor\n\n\nBrief Session Description: Let’s time travel a few decades forward to see what science\, technology\, engineering\, and math will be like\, and the prominent role that the arts\, design \,and creativity will play in the future. Right now\, scientists and engineers are creating a future where biology and engineering mix with computation and computer science. The future holds things like driverless cars\, buildings that heal themselves\, “radical mycology\,” which are plastics that adopt organic properties from mushrooms\, clothes that adjust to the weather\, robots\, Artificial Intelligence\, and holodeck-like experiences that will bend the definition of reality. However\, this fourth industrial revolution is not some far away abstraction\, all of these futuristic visions will depend on the ingenuity and creativity of people who are K-12 students today. We owe it to them to teach them how to make\, design\, and create using the most modern technology in their STEAM classes today. \nWhat are the implications for K-12 education when subjects are being reinvented every year? Are we content with providing students with science classes that don’t cover any science invented this century? What questions do education leaders need to answer to make sure that the future of STEAM is part of schools starting today.

SUMMARY:FabLearn 2019
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will be the opening keynote and lead a workshop at FabLearn 2019 at Columbia University Teachers College\, New York City\, NY. \nKeynote: Making the Future: The Future of Making\nMarch 9\, 2019 \nMaking in education connects educators around the world in a quest to make education more authentic and relevant. We stand on the shoulders of giants who articulated new understandings of what learning could be and new ways to explore powerful ideas. In the present\, we strive to deepen our commitment to provide authentic learning opportunities for all young people. We look into the future to see what the children in today’s classrooms will experience\, and support them as they become changemakers and global citizens. \nTogether\, let’s explore the past\, present\, and future of making in education so that we can equip children with the tools and mindset to solve the challenges of the future\, and make the world a better place for all. \nWorkshop: Making Making Sustainable: A Collective Blueprint For the Future\nGDH 541 (to be confirmed) Sunday March 10\, 2019\nFacilitators: Sylvia Martinez (Invent to Learn\, USA) \nABSTRACT: Will making in education have a lasting effect on education\, or will it become just another “new new thing” that is overtaken by some newer new thing? This workshop will be a working group to create a blueprint of items and actions that the participants believe will help make “making” in education a sustainable practice in schools worldwide. The nature of the blueprint will be the first item of conversation\, followed by brainstorming on topics. I expect these topics will be things like: classroom practices\, research needed\, professional development\, teacher certification\, resources\, policies\, assessment\, and curriculum. However\, the group may come up with other topics. \nMore about FabLearn 2019: 8th Annual Conference on Maker Education\nMarch 9th – 10th\, 2019\, Teachers College\, Columbia University\n2019 Conference theme: What Role does Maker Education Play in a World with Growing Social and Environmental Challenges?\nThe FabLearn Conference\, in-Cooperation with Association for Computing Machinery\, Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (ACM SIGCHI)\, brings together key influencers and thought-leaders from around the world in education\, policy-making\, academia\, design\, research\, and maker communities to learn\, present\, and discuss digital fabrication in education\, the maker culture\, hands-on learning\, and instructional tools. \nThe two-day conference features: \n\nWorld-renowned keynote speakers\nPanels of cutting-edge researchers and educators\nDemonstrations of the latest technology\nImmersive hands-on workshops\n\nThe conference has two primary goals: \n\nEstablishing the current “state of the field” by gathering information about the work conducted by those in the field\nDisseminating information about best practices and tools\, and connecting researchers with practitioners\, policy-makers\, and pioneering educators.
