Times and Dates

This is a half-day workshops, Thursday, July 10 from 9am – 12pm.
An additional workshop on AI and Design Thinking: The Perfect Combination will run from 1 – 4pm in the same location. Those who purchase a ticket for both will be provided lunch.

About The Workshop

Leaders: Lillian Ritchie, Director of Innovation; Don Buckley, Entrepreneurship Educator; and Eric Walters, Director of STEM; Marymount New York.

Director Ava DuVernay once noted, “Don’t wait for permission to do something creative.” This raises the question: how do we as educators help our learners build a creative mindset, one that empowers them to take risks, embrace curiosity, and develop innovative solutions to complex problems. Participants will engage in a series of hands-on, minds-on activities that help students (and you) model creativity at any age and in any discipline. By the end of the session, participants will walk away with a toolkit of creative ideas to foster a classroom environment where students feel confident embracing ambiguity, expressing their ideas, and tackling challenges creatively.

Please note: We take screenshots, photographs and record video of our workshops in order to publicize a positive image of science teaching, and of STEMteachersNYC – a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – and to support future teacher leaders. If you register, you are agreeing to be photographed and to have your voice and image video-recorded. You are also agreeing to relinquish all your rights to the photographs and video recordings.

If you do not wish to be photographed or video-recorded – you must inform us before the workshop starts. For in-person workshops, we will take one photograph of your face so that we can erase your image if we happen to catch it by chance during the workshop, and we will do our best to avoid you. We would also appreciate your cooperation in positioning yourself at the edge of the group so as to help us avoid you.
