2025 Elevated Teaching Summit

Young learners are naturally curious—but are we truly tapping into that curiosity during science lessons? In this interactive session, we’ll explore how to make science more than just an activity by engaging students in thinking, questioning, reading, writing, and discovering through hands-on exploration. Teachers will experience simple, engaging investigations that spark curiosity, learn how to move beyond step-by-step experiments to true inquiry-based learning, and discover ways to integrate informational texts and writing to support scientific thinking. Walk away with practical, ready-to-use strategies that help students explore, wonder, and think like real scientists!

Ready to turn your students into storytellers, creators, and critical thinkers? In this hands-on session, discover how to integrate stop motion animation into your desired content area. Learn how to collaborate with your STEM and Arts Brain Booster teachers to enhance engagement and creativity. We’ll walk through the full process—from storytelling and storyboarding to filming and reflection—all while aligning to your standards. You'll leave with ready-to-use resources, ideas for classroom integration, and the inspiration to get your students moving, making, and showing mastery of content through animation. 

Bring STEM learning to life by combining KaiBots with Kai’s Kainundrum Lite, a digital world that integrates gaming elements to add exciting challenges to coding and problem-solving. In this session, elementary educators will explore fun, hands-on ways to use KaiBots to build STEM skills like critical thinking, engineering, and math. Learn how to connect physical coding with digital exploration, making learning experiences more engaging and interactive for all students. Additionally, discover how this mighty robot can bridge classroom learning with hands-on exploration, providing structured, high-energy activities for educators, maker spaces, after-school programs, and anyone looking to incorporate KaiBots into their learning spaces.
