Mark your calendar for Monday, September 23. We'll celebrate a new school year by honoring educators. More details to come. #celebratEDpgh

And we’re off! Design Camp 2019 begins with students entering into their first brainstorming session!!

After a long and productive brainstorming session, students broke into groups dedicated to their interests... Coding, storytelling/storyboarding, art, and film. Each group experimenting and growing in their interest areas!

Here at day two of #designcamp, production begins with a theme centered around #acceptance! Students using all type of #design to tell their unique story! Gregg Behr Remake Learning Avonworth District Thomas Ralston

The work continues through day 2 of Design Camp. Campers collaborate with educators like @ASDMrWhite and @jillshumaker79, along with fellow students, to create the best story possible! Gregg Behr #remakelearning #design #storytelling #CSforall #CSforPGH

“The hands-on creativity here helps you to work with others and find your own ideas to make even better things”. Student, Vicky H, reflects on the benefits of hands-on learning, as opposed to traditional lecture-style teaching! @jillshumaker79 @ASDMrWhite Remake Learning

Preparations for the final scene of the #designcamp2019 film have begun! “Gifted” will premier later today in front of the students and their parents. @jillshumaker79 Remake Learning @ASDMrWhite Avonworth District Gregg Behr #designthinking #CSforPgh #storytellingbydesign

Who wants to run the switch today? #broadcasting excites Ss to become #creators not just consumers. Ss are proud of their work, their school, and their place within it. Let them show it #BROADCAST!

For all the teachers trying hard to use new tools with their students: I commend you! We are all trying our best !However, if a middle school or high school student has 7 teachers all trying a new thing on the same day, they might have a breakdown. Reporting from the trenches...
