Youth have been interacting online with each other for quite some time. So how do we as educators connect with them while modeling healthy behaviors? Building connections through the digital space can be challenging, this 1-hour AzCASE virtual workshop will teach you strategies to get, and maintain students’ attention online. Virtual learning and youth programs can take place when we use the digital space creatively and with the holistic child in mind.

The New York Times invites youth ages 11-19 to find a STEM-related question, concept or issue they're interested in, and, in 500 words or fewer, explain it to a general audience in a way that not only helps us understand, but also engages us and makes us see why it’s important.

Register here to watch their on-demand webinar on teaching informational writing with a STEM theme.
