We are sorry; this event has been postponed.

The University of Virginia is suspending all university-sponsored events that involve more than 100 people. 

Please stay tuned for updates.

This year, we aim to increase teacher engagement by crowd-sourcing compelling learning resources developed by teachers, for teachers. All registrants will have access to a shared folder that will stay "live" at the program, and we will be asking you to submit resources and to share your experiences, success stories, and challenges.

Registration is open!
