OLA Conference 2018

Robots and coding and puppets, oh my! After a couple of years concentrating on hands-on STEAM programming, our presenters are brimming with ideas for how to keep children and teens busy learning how science, technology, engineering, art, and math can be the basis of fun times and massive learning. They will demonstrate and explain examples as low-tech as preschool chemistry and high-tech as LEGO Mindstorms; as no-cost as CS First Coding Camp and as extravagant as grant-funded Explorer Kits (and toss in a few tips about how to access the grant funds you might need). We’re not all talk. We’ll bring along robots, kits, and crafts galore for you to try out to see what might work for your community.
