Smithsonian Learning Can't-Miss Conversations

Hi Learning Lab Registered User,

Join us this Friday for a conversation about digital careers:

Video Gaming with a Purpose:
Meet a Smithsonian Museum Game Designer

Friday, December 7, 2018
12:00PM ET

Your students play games for fun but do they know that they can play to learn STEM concepts – and still have fun. In this free online chat with Smithsonian digital interactive designer Cody Coltharp they will play games about a historical event— the first manned flight—and about algorithmic sorting. Cody will explain the kinds of skills he uses to do this work, his educational background, and share insights into designing games for the Smithsonian. Students will be able to ask questions and play with these free, easy to use, Smithsonian activities.

Join us live online for this conversation highlighting computer science in celebration of Computer Science Education Week (December 3–9, 2018). The event will be recorded and archived at the same weblink.

To preview the activities that will be demonstrated see the First Flight online interactive and the CURIO Print and Play Learning Lab collection.

Hope to see you soon!
