Participate and share: Interactive session 
Recorded Session
Learn how to design a playful way for students to create mathematical products of their own. Based in engaging mathematical play, empower students to take the reins and become math makers. Participants will be shown how to give students a maker challenge where they’ll test and refine their ideas in real time, being as creative as they can. Participants will also learn how to engage educators and family members in the program to have fun and build a sense of community while students develop powerful mathematics, problem-solving and social skills.
20 minutes - Explain background, goals at work, and how those goals relate to building communities in STEM for students. Describe real world events, activities, and programming that led to collaboration with educators and students. Discuss the challenges encountered when designing and launching programming for exceptional student growth and achievement.
20 minutes - Lead participants through a hands-on math maker activity and design challenge component to demonstrate the types of programming that educators can implement back at their own schools and districts.
15 minutes - Discuss strategies for gaining educator/family buy-in and the importance of empowering those groups to be part of students’ STEM success. Participants will develop actionable steps to begin to initiate or further their own STEM programming efforts.
5 minutes - Conclude with a Q&A where participants can dig deeper into strategies behind math maker programming.
