Seeking Student Presenters for AEA Board of Directors' Conference

Iowa’s AEAs are seeking students who are interested in sharing their innovative projects and learning! Every year, about 80 AEA board members gather for a two-day conference, and those board members want to learn more about the unique and exciting learning that AEAs are supporting in Iowa’s schools! Please encourage the students in your life to consider this great opportunity! 

Students would set up a booth/table from 6:15-7:45 p.m. on April 16 at the West Des Moines Marriott. Board members will have a 90-minute block of time to visit with students at their booths/tables. Each table will have room for a display board and physical artifacts (e.g., robots, items from a 3D printer, photos, whatever) and also will have electricity and Internet access. Some ideas include... 

VREP                Robotics          Lego League           
Makerspace       Drones           Minecraft          
Blogging           QR codes        Virtual reality    
Stop motion      Social media    Video projects 
Digital animation                     App creation 

This would make addition to a college resume and is a great chance to enhance presentation skills. We will be capturing this event so it can be added to a student’s portfolio and shared across the state/nation. If you know a student who would be interested in being a presenter, contact Dr. Scott McLeod, dr.scott.mcleod@gmail.com.
