Curious about sketchnoting but not sure where to start? Join Jen Giffen for a hands-on session for beginner sketchnoters. Come and discover this fun way to take notes and get those artistic juices flowing!

Sketchnoting increases retention and focus as well as improves memory. It is great way to synthesize information and focus on big ideas. It helps with concentration, stimulates neural pathways, and quite literally makes us smarter.

You might be saying “But I can’t draw”; don’t worry. Sketchnoting is not creating a lifelike representation of reality, it is a way to embrace all literacies while creating something make sense for YOU.

What could it mean for students if STEM truly permeated their entire learning environment?

Our two-year journey to becoming an IDOE STEM certified school lead to cross curricular collaborations unlike any in which we had previously engaged. It also created incredible learning opportunities for students and staff. Join us to explore our journey and the lessons learned along the way. Presenters will discuss their challenges of cross curricular collaboration, the process of incorporating Language Arts, Social Studies, and Unified Arts into the STEM curriculum, the value of having all content areas and teachers involved, how the 4 Cs of STEM fit into each content area, and strategies to help create all staff buy-in to this initiative. Presenters, all teachers within this journey, will share information and handout/resources for STEM integration across the curriculum.
