Participants in this interactive workshop will select a Teachers Guild (teachersguild.org) design challenge and use maker materials to create a rapid prototype of a promising idea for their classroom or school. Using a feedback process, we’ll improve on the prototypes and come up with a plan that can be implemented back in our schools.

The Teachers Guild is a collaborative online community where educators work together to design solutions to classroom challenges. Participants will choose ideas from the following Teachers Guild challenges:
Cultivating curiosity and problem-solving in our students through active and authentic STEM
Building character in our students from day one
Redesigning the parent-teacher conference experience
Inspiring our students to be makers every day
Reimaging professional learning so that we continue to grow, feel inspired, and have the greatest impact on our students
