At a Scratch Educator Meetup you will...
Network & Schedule
Get
ready for playful learning!
The magic of meetups
stems from the powerful connections that
form between educators. When you walk
into a meetup, you can grab a snack,
meet someone new through a fun ice
breaker, and help to
build the schedule for the day based on
the groups' interests.
|
Explore & Learn
Like your students,
your creativity flourishes when you have
time to experiment, create, play, and
tinker! For the core of the meetup, you
might start a new Scratch project,
explore ideas related to your creative
computing teaching practice, embark on a
Scratch challenge, and more.
|
Share & Reflect
Sharing and reflecting
are integral components to any creative
practice. For the
final portion of the meetup, reflect on
how you might apply your learning from
the day to your classroom practice,
s
hare your ideas with
the rest of the group, and learn about a
cool project that a fellow educator is
working on.

Get the most out of a Scratch Educator Meetup by...
Asking Questions
Allow
yourself to be the learner—to not
know, and to discover what's possible by
asking for support from
others.
|
Sharing Your Ideas
Whether
you are new to Scratch or a long-time
learner, trust that your thoughts and
ideas matter in this space.
|
Embracing Fearlessness
Uncertainty is an
essential part of the creative process.
Be kind and patient with yourself as you
try new things.
