What does it mean to be a maker, and how can educators use the power of making in the classroom? In this workshop, participants define Maker education and experience how profound making integrates multiple subjects through a rigorous hands-on activity. All activities align to CCSS Language Arts, CCSS Math, NGSS Science, and California Arts Standards through the integration of reading, writing, sketching, planning, engineering, building, coding, and presenting.

One day educator training includes copy of grade-level arts-integrated curriculum, how to unpack the curriculum, arts integration training, elements and principles of art overview, and time to make-and-take 3 projects from the curriculum.

Join us for an exciting and engaging night of arts integration and arts making!  This workshop, inspired by the spring season, focuses on integrating elements of spring, and books about spring into classroom curricula and the visual arts. Attendees will participate in the making of four full arts projects (new projects from previous year) and will receive lesson plans for four projects.  Provided lesson plans align to VAPA and CCSS Standards.
