In May, RCDS STEAM Director Cathie Bischoff and Makerspace Director Gail Sestito presented at the Association of Technology Leaders at Independent Schools Conference (ATLIS) in Orlando, Florida.
Titled Making the Most of Your Makerspace: Authentic Curricular and Community Projects, their presentation discussed curricular integration strategies, the project design process, helpful resources, alternative assessment and personal reflection strategies that have been utilized in the Makerspace.
The conference provided an opportunity for Ms. Bischoff and Ms. Sestito to connect with Makerspace educators, share best practices, and learn about new ways to create enriching STEAM experiences for students.
