Teaching with Tinkercad (Season 3, Ep. 5) - Culturally Responsive Makerspaces
Teaching with Tinkercad: Culturally Responsive Makerspaces
Do you want to change the conversation around who is a maker, while nurturing the talent the world is missing? Join us for our next webinar as we will delve into strategies for engaging students in creative learning experiences that reflect their cultural backgrounds and honor how their unique perspectives enable them to be inventors who can shape the world in innovative ways. Our guest speakers have successfully fostered rich cultures of making grounded in including young people from groups that have been historically marginalized in STEM.
The Hidden Genius Project trains and mentors Black male youth in technology creation, entrepreneurship and leadership skills to transform their lives and communities. The Ubuntu Center, operated by The Hidden Genius Project, is a Best Buy Teen Tech Center and a member of The Clubhouse Network. It is a creative, safe, and free out-of-school learning environment where young people work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology.
Design With Us is founded on the belief that disabled youth have an incredible opportunity to use their lived experiences to create helpful and fun things. Their workshops offer skills around brainstorming, prototyping, and communicating ideas to others.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to take your makerspace to the next level! We look forward to seeing you there!
Hear from guest speakers Anaiss Arreola, Kevin Butler, and Jen Lee Reeves.
