Participate and share: Interactive session 
The purpose of our presentation is to give participants exposure to hands-on, state science and social studies standard driven activities using a variety of digital tools which highlight student creativity, collaboration, agency, and engagement.
After our presentation, participants will begin to think and plan engaging student projects in new ways, utilizing digital tools and focusing on student creation and engagement, all while meeting and exceeding state standards. Participants will see specific student examples of these types of lessons and we will introduce and give hands-on experience using augmented reality (AR) apps, slow motion video recording techniques, LEGO Education STEM/robotic sets, audio/music recording apps, movie making apps, and more. Participants will see examples of past projects and how they connect with the community in important ways.
