Celebrate the imagination and innovation of the ISTE+ASCD community at the Creators Fiesta! This space is your destination for creative inspiration and hands-on making during your conference experience. Join us for daily programming in the Creators Fiesta, where you’ll find…

The Creators Gallery
Visit the Creators Gallery, a showcase of creative artifacts from the ISTE+ASCD community. Check out the artworks and engage in projects that spark curiosity and ignite student agency. Enjoy traditional fine arts, digitally designed works, videos, sculptures, and more, created by students and educators.

Gallery Activities
What's a celebration without a variety of fun activities? As you stroll through the gallery, take time to doodle, create a small Bot (then give it away!), collage, draw a quilt square, practice your poetry, design a game, enter a virtual world, and more – many of the activities tie directly to the student projects!

The Fiesta Studio
Imagine, experiment, and create with fellow creators and local artists! Join us for 10 minutes or stay for an hour. During the conference, participate in a community mural project led by local artists, create a group drawing, design a small Bot, and more. Check out the Creators Fiesta Studio schedule for specific information on the daily drop-in workshops!
