2025 KEEN Conference

We will explore the essential role relationships play in creating a strong educational environment. We will focus on building meaningful relationships with students, fostering strong partnerships with your community, and inviting community into school to create a collaborative and supportive atmosphere.

Integrating a Makerspace in the classroom can spice up teaching and learning by blending creativity, collaboration, and hands-on problem-solving. This session will engage primary and intermediate educators in creating their own "recipe" for a Makerspace Classroom that brings together the "ingredients" of standards, essential questions, community connections, collaborative learning and much more. If you want to encourage innovation and invigorate students, a Makerspace is the zest your lessons need. Come ready to roll up your sleeves, sift, stir and bake up some ideas to take back and enjoy with your class.
