Join us for meaningful making and tinkering! You will be able to participate in 3 engaging interdisciplinary STEAM projects - building a tamagotchi with micro:bit / breadboard / sensors, creating your own keychain using TinkerCAD, and sewing a pendant! Stations are co-facilitated by educators at The Possible Zone, a leading high school makerspace in Boston for diverse youth.

Grand Hyatt - Texas Ballroom C

This talk will highlight the project-based learning practices at The Possible Zone and its impact on student agency, engagement, and SEL skill development through choice. It explores how meaningful making (infusing art and STEM) promotes self-reflection and deeper communal connection in an under-resourced, diverse high school student population; through the competencies developed, students also prepare themselves for careers of the future.
