Here is a recap of the event:

"Meet Up With" - Upon arrival, each attendee was asked to share an original portrait as well as three facts about themselves.
-
Speed Networking - We went down the line, contra-dance-style and shared what we love most about our jobs, the pastry we would want to be and why, and a student who inspires us in our work.
-
Breakout Sessions - We collaboratively built the schedule for the day, with the following themes: Intro to Scratch, Nuts and Bolts, Differentiating with Scratch, Video Games, After Scratch and Storytelling.
