Everything is Awesome! LEGO Education Conference at HTeCV

The 4th grade students in Mr. Romo's class worked very hard to become teachers for their LEGO Education Conference workshop this past Saturday at HTeCV.
They practiced and created a new project to present for their workshop, "Starting from Scratch: Students as Coding Experts."
We had a great turnout, especially with the LEGO education President himself! Teachers, LEGO education and Tufts CEEO all came out to enjoy a day of fun and learning. 
If you ever wondered about having your students host their own workshop, my advice is do it! But, scaffold the process just like you would a project.
The students really did an amazing job of facilitating and all their hard work helped them gain confidence, overcome fears, and learn even more from each other in the process. I highly recommend giving students the chance to share their work with an adult audience in the form of a student-led workshop. It will change your perspective on teaching and learning.
