Sustainable Towns: Building Eco-Friendly Communities through Design, Coding and Urban Planning for Elementary and Middle School Students *IN PERSON* presented by Leslie Dalis Watnik-8:30-2:30pm

October 29 @ 8:30 am - 2:30 pm

Dive into project-based learning with a hands-on workshop focused on creating sustainable dwellings, coding, and community planning for elementary students. Learn how to guide your students through a sustainability unit that explores eco-friendly living, building scaled models of homes using solar and wind-powered kits, and designing model food trucks along with creating their own food truck businesses. The experience will culminate in an exciting urban planning project, where students will logically design a large town that integrates their models and sustainable concepts. Empower your students to think like urban planners and innovators! ** It is suggested that you bring your own tablet** Audience: 4th-7th grade teachers Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
