Are you ready to drive the future?


This four day conference is designed to benefit instructors who seek to enhance their schools by learning more about 21st century skills, project-based learning and the use of powerful web 2.0 tools for learning.

Our goals are to:


* Bring innovative educators together and build an ongoing learning community with powerful tools to enhance the sharing of ideas and resources.

* Provide an understanding of emerging technologies and their possible positive impacts on engaged instruction.

* Explore the project-based learning continuum and appropriate integration of these approaches.


Sparked by the need and desire to collaborate, two charter school dissemination grants were written. The grants connected two cross-state programs as well as connected schools within the district. These funded projects, coupled with the willingness of Staci Warren and KSDE as co-sponsor, launched this (un)conference that is designed to help drive 21st century conversations. We see innovative classrooms/schools as petri dishes for the improvement of education as a whole.
