This spring, the Austin, TX area is hosting a variety of outreach programs for K-12 students and staff to get more savvy in anything from programming to theater. These are all best practices. Though some may fall under the edtech umbrella, I would consider all just best practices.
So, check out the following events happening in Austin, TX area over the next months and spread the word! The goal is to connect these events and communities so knowledge is collaborative and information is shared.
March 29: Challenging Perceptions
Join area girls in Bastrop, Texas as they participate in engineering activities and build teamwork and life skills.
March 31-April 4: #warriorcode
Event is full of teacher-sourced problems that students develop script/code/app solutions for. Product demos are created and students/staff vote on winning solutions.
