#EdExchange at the Thinkery

I was selected to attend EdExchange at the Thinkery.  This is a semester long series of workshops where teachers and other educators gather to learn new hands-on activities to bring back to his or her own school and an opportunity to collaborate with each other.  So far we have had our first meeting and it was incredible.  I'm excited to work with the talent at the Thinkery and the other educators who are participating!  We learned how to use stop motion animation to bring students' stories to life with HUE cameras; about the Children's Innovation Project; and best of all we got to play and learn!  I will later post when I use these things I learned in my classroom.  Our swag bag for the event included a HUE camera to use for stop motion animation projects, beautifully made circuit boards from Children's Innovation Project, and Invent to Learn: Making Tinkering and Engineering in the Classroom.  Wow.  So far, I am playing around with the HUE camera so that I can make a demo animation for my students.  Here are some photos from our first meeting:
