Changing Perceptions: Creating Equity in 21st Century Learning
Exploring learning expectations for the 21st Century and how spaces of learning are shifting dramatically. We will look into students’ use of technology in their learning and how technology becomes a tool for equity in learning. We will begin to identify strategies to include a diversity of voices in our learning cultures and how to support teachers and families in changing their perception on the use of technology, including how it can be better utilized to create a dynamic learning environment.

Virtual Reality: Using VR as a Tool for Equity and Change
Computer programming is quickly shaping the tools society uses to engage with one another. These tools help shape our discourse, amplify our belief systems, and push out our message. Without diversity, only the dominant discourse can be heard. In this workshop we will explore ways to increase diversity in computer science. We will explore ways to amplify the voices of girls and students of color through the use of virtual reality, where they can tell their own stories.
