STEM Education Conference Recap!
If you've been watching the news or experiencing the lines, you're aware that COVID's Omicron variant has spiked in NYC in the past 2 weeks. We hope you're all staying safe and masking up! (as always!)
We are still administering classes, and are being extremely careful. Our top priority is always the health and safety of our Robofun community, from students (your kiddos) to staff, guardians, and parents alike. We are making sure all precautions are being taken to maximize safety while still having lots of Robofun!
I have spent a lot of time thinking about our time through COVID-19 so far and up to date, and how it's really shifted the way of education, business, and the world of media in many trajectory-changing ways.
I've also been thinking a lot about our education conference last January. Amid isolation and online education, one of my fondest memories was being able to put together a 250+ guest symposium called STEAM Education At Home: What's Working, with a few wonderful guests from Microsoft, Makers Space, Brooklyn Makers, and more. Within this space we spoke, honestly and earnestly about what it'd been like at the time, working from home, providing online education, shifting our means of what it means to teach a classroom full of students through the web, and how we shifted our modules to still make a super important impact!

The memory of this conference has, by far, been one of the greatest motivators for me in the last couple of months,
If you loved Part 1 or were only able to catch the beginning previously, here's a link to the second half as well!
This was a super beautiful event! Amid isolation, we found a way to create connection and bring some joy to the lives of our educators and engineers. That connection is something I'm grateful for every day.
