Join us in the MISD Maker Space and level up your Micro:bit knowledge. This workshop is perfect for those who attended Making with Micro:bits or have a basic understanding of the Micro:bit and how it works. We will be building a crane out of Strawbees and programming the Micro:bit to move the crane up and down. Participants will leave the session with a Maker resource to support the learning.

Macomb County Assistive Technology (AT) leaders will learn from Dr. Ray Heipp about setting environments up for ongoing access to supports and AT trialing, sensory additions to the school community, and possible funding sources for AT tools. In addition, district teams will analyze available data from QIAT, Follett, and PowerSchool Special Ed to develop their district AT Plan for 2024-2025. Join the communAT!

Participants will have 14 months to complete four self-paced online courses and four digital artifacts to support their blended learning growth. Courses open June 1, 2024 and close August, 2025. Start anytime and work at your own pace, however, to get the most out of this year's networking opportunities, please register by August 15, 2024. In addition to coursework support from the MISD IT Consultants and MADE Instructors, participants will have opportunities to network with fellow educators during four after-school sessions (dates listed below). This program is FREE.

The session will begin with the first AT Lunch & Learn meeting of the 2024-2025 school year, which will integrate the live participants with those joining online. Following the meeting will be an interactive session led by Carolyn O'Hearn that will spark a fire in you! The future of education is shaped by you and the diverse roles you play - therapy provider, meeting facilitator, coach, and so many more! There is only one of you, but each person, each moment, and each idea can be powerful. This hands-on, interactive session aims to shift outdated mindsets, build collaborative skills, and grow your networks. Join us to reimagine how you can play a larger role in igniting change in your schools and make a TOTE-ally amazing impact. In addition, district teams will analyze available data from QIAT, Follett, and PowerSchool Special Ed to develop their district AT Plan for 2024-2025. Join the communAT!
