Hosted by New Tech Network and Eagle Tech Academy

Join us as we bring together educators across the region for hands-on learning and authentic connection. Designed for both more experienced educators and those new to PBL, these workshops combine practical tools, collaborative design time, and opportunities to connect with like-minded educators. Learn locally, grow collectively, and take your practice further.

This summer we are bringing TWO events to Eagle Tech Academy: Intro to PBL & Meeting of the Minds Collaborative Workshop!

INTRODUCTION TO PBL
A three-day summer training for K-12 educators new to PBL

Not your standard PD experience, this three-day workshop will equip you with the foundational tools to design and implement adaptable, student-centered PBL. You’ll have an opportunity to try out Blueprint powered by Inkwire, our AI supported project design tool. Leave feeling empowered and confident in implementing immersive, project-based learning experiences aligned with your curriculum standards. And you might make a new friend or two while you’re at it!

MEETING OF THE MINDS COLLABORATIVE WORKSHOP
A one-day summer workshop for experienced K–12 educators

This workshop is an opportunity for experienced K–12 PBL educators in your region to step away from the pace of the school year and come together for a day of connection, planning, and idea-building.  Whether you’re refining a project or tackling a persistent instructional challenge, you’ll have the time, coaching, and peer support to make meaningful progress.

MEETING OF THE MINDS FOLLOW-UP UNCONFERENCE

You spent the day at Meeting of the Minds learning about designing for deeper learning. You connected with other teachers and crowd sourced ideas and resources and then spent the afternoon working on your project design. Join us on Thursday, July 23 for this free follow up workshop and continue your community collaboration. Our hosts, the Eagle Tech Academy team are designing a day where you can continue your work in community with other educators engaged in designing for deeper learning. We'll have NTN coaches on hand to help answer any questions.
