Sphero Your Escape by Solving Equations!
Can you figure out the math to help your Jedi escape the Death Star? Wanting to try out some STEM with computer science and math together in your classroom? Here you will see some ideas for integrating math and Sphero to engage and motivate students to learn and apply the important concept of multi-step equations. Participants will get to experience a galactic adventure with a Star Wars themed Sphero math maze and receive copies of all activities to use in their classroom. Activities can be easily built upon to increase coding and computer science in your STEM classroom with Sphero. Come prepared to learn, have fun, and escape from the Galactic Empire’s most revered space station. Download the Sphero Edu app from Google Play or the App Store prior to the session to be able to use your own device to aid in your escape (optional).

Create a Blended Learning Classroom
Blended learning combines technology-driven, online learning with teacher led instruction to maximize a personalized learning experience for students. Blended learning involves rethinking class structure, use of time, and allocation of resources. The goal of blended learning is to increase student learning and achievement by using the best instructional strategies, and fostering a personalized, highly productive learning environment of engaged students. In this session, participants will engage in a blended learning simulation, become familiar with tools and strategies indicative of a blended learning environment, and discuss with colleagues, enabling teachers to develop systems for creating their own blended learning classroom.

Women in Computer Science - A Panel of High School, Higher Education and Career Trailblazers (Panel)
We’ve read the research, we’ve heard about the missing figures, but what do we really know about the current landscape for women in computer science and computer science education? Representing the full continuum of CS from high school to career, panelists will share about the spark that led them to pursue CS and outline real actions that CS advocates and educators can take to ensure that more women have the opportunity to make waves in CS and computing.
