Call for Student Presenters for AEA Boards’ Conference

Iowa's Area Education Agencies are seeking students who are interested in sharing their innovative projects and learning. Every year, about 80 board members from all of Iowa's AEAs gather for a two-day conference. AEA board members want to learn more about the unique and exciting learning that AEAs are supporting in Iowa's schools.

Students would set up a booth/table from 6:15-7:45 p.m. April 16 at the West Des Moines Marriott. Board members will have a 90-minute block of time to visit with students at their booths/tables. Each table will have room for a display board and physical artifacts (e.g., robots, things from a 3D printer, photos, whatever) and also will have electricity and Internet access. Some ideas include...
•    VREP
•    Robotics
•    Lego League
•    Makerspace
•    Drones
•    Minecraft
•    Blogging
•    QR codes
•    Virtual reality
•    Stop motion
•    Social media projects (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
•    Video projects
•    Digital animation
•    App creation
•    ...anything that may not have a household name but that you've enjoyed and are anxious to share!

This would make addition to a college resume and is a great chance to enhance presentation skills. We will be capturing this event so it can be added to your portfolio and shared across the state/nation.

If you're interested in being a presenter, please contact Dr. Scott McLeod, dr.scott.mcleod@gmail.com.
