What: We’ll be presenting two sessions – 5 Stories from the Land of Paper Circuits and Using Paper Circuits for Creative Prototyping in an Urban Planning Design Challenge.
5 Stories From the Land of Paper Circuits
Saturday, December 5, 9:00–9:45 am PST
- Session format: Listen and learn
- Session topic: Computer science & computational thinking
- Secondary session topic: Storytelling/multimedia
- Subject area: STEM/STEAM, Performing/visual arts
- Audience role : Curriculum/district specialists, Teachers, Library media specialists
- Grade level: PK-12
- Skill level: Beginner
- Presenters: Barbara Liedahl and Susan Brown
Description: Creative educators worldwide have built expressive electronic circuits using paper and paper-friendly microcontrollers, LED stickers, motors and sensors, integrating media arts, coding and maker mindsets. Hear stories from five “neighborhoods” in our Land of Paper Circuits and leave with ideas and resources for bringing this experience to your classroom.
Diversity, equity and inclusion: Working with educators and students from a wide variety of socioeconomic, cultural, and racial backgrounds, we share examples of their inspiring work throughout our presentation. Paper circuits are an accessible medium for learning programming and electronics, helping to level the playing field, and supporting efforts towards greater diversity amongst technologists.
Using Paper Circuits for Creative Prototyping in an Urban Planning Design Challenge
Saturday, December 5, 12:30–1:30 pm PST
- Session format: Participate and share (Poster)
- Session topic: Maker activities & programs
- Secondary session topic: Computer science & computational thinking
- Subject area: Social studies, STEM/STEAM
- Audience role: Curriculum/district specialists, Teachers, Library media specialists
- Grade level: PK-12
- Skill level: Beginner
- Presenters: Barbara Liedahl and Susan Brown
Description: Explore the intersection of art and coding through a “paper city” design challenge! We will begin with an introduction to paper circuitry, broadening ideas about what technology can look and feel like. Participants will then dream up paper cities of their own in response to a group design challenge.
