Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone made it home safe and sound from the conference, and if you weren't able to join us make sure you catch up on the events via the Twitter hashtag #caslceca17

I wanted to share my presentation with anyone who may have wanted to share it because I missed getting it to the webmaster in time to be added to the website.

I was part of the Makerspaces panel with my amazing West Hartford collegues and I presented a session entitled "LAUNCH-ing Student Voice and Choice Through Makerspace & Problem Based Learning."
