Students in preschool - third grade are curious and imaginative and these traits work in perfect combination with opportunities to learn coding through the use of robots and making. Take away tested ideas, tips, tricks, you can use with your younger learners.  Pre-registered participants will also leave with new robot friends. See details below.

Let's get hands-on with Podcasting.  We'll start with a Good Prompt, learn how to use accessible software like WeVideo, and create easy workflows that work in your classroom, school, or library. In Part 2, you’ll get a chance to sound off with even more podcasting tips and tricks as you explore how and when to use tools like  Spotify, Anchor FM, and Soundtrap.  From improving sound quality to streaming your audio,  you'll leave with new ways to take your podcast to the next level.  Pregistered participants will leave with podcasting tools to take back to their school.
