Kids Who Know and Do Conference
Connect is pleased to have the opportunity to continue the great work that the Autodesk Foundation has done over the years to build a Project Based Learning (PBL) network and give educators a forum to share their experiences and learn from their peers. The Kids Who Know and Do Conference showcases the work of educators who use PBL to help students build the knowledge, technology skills, thinking processes, and resources they need to succeed in the world. In fact, the conference showcases students themselves—students are presenters, exhibitors, and attendees.
Classroom Connect
Student achievement starts with professional development of the highest caliber. At Connected Conferences educators learn how to effectively "turbo-charge" the learning environment by supporting the development of 21st Century skills.
