Celeste Moreno

University of Colorado Boulder

In this interactive talk, Celeste will share innovative ways to incorporate the micro:bit microcontroller into hands-on projects that explore computing, art, and science. Participants will explore ways this transdisciplinary approach broadens participation in computer science and invites learners into creative and collaborative design. There will be hands-on activities with the micro:bit microcontrollers and discussions around in-class and out-of-class implementation.

Leslie Batty & Aileen Rizo

In this collaborative presentation, participants will hear from a mathematician and an artist who set on the journey of collaboratively teaching math in an art class at a local high school. They will share the process of looking at research, the lessons on symmetry they created together, examples of students’ work, and their passion for seeing this type of intentional collaboration grow throughout the central valley and beyond.
