Custom Electronics and Activism in K-12 Education workshop

== Abstract ==

9 year olds are designing wearable electronics to promote their beliefs. In humanities classes, math classes, and in clubs. We do need to bring in ethics, self agency, power tools, coding, and empathy…. but it’s less of a melting pot and more of an environment that finally makes sense.

Join our MakeFashion Edu discussion! We will make a video that is easy for you to scrub through to find different topics:
* Amateur Electronics Design in Shenzhen
* Project Based Learning in K-12 schools
* Advocacy through Fashion and Technology

Afterwards we will do a multi-room AMA on each of the topics, on our [https://discord.gg/ejzcbNp MakeFashion Edu Discord Server], with introductory instructions on lighting up ws2812b LEDs. We will have some development boards on hand to run your code on our ws2812b LEDs. Or you can just drop in to see demos and chat.

Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ejzcbNp

== Full Description ==
In our video, we will have 3 speakers, around 10 minutes each, detail one area of the MakeFashion Edu program. Bios below, we all wear multiple hats, but are going to dive really specifically into our chosen topics. You don't have to watch every topic! The changeovers will be obvious so you can fast forward / rewind to hear just the stuff that you like.

Afterwards we will do several text-chats on specifics of each topic. The speakers will be there, but also additional MakeFashion Edu staff and community members. So you can get specific questions answered! In the chat rooms you can also send "code" from the video workshops.

Video Workshops: We will setup two video-chat channels to work on. One will be education and advocacy focused, and the other is focused on using "development boards" like the micro:bit. We are going to walk everyone through how to get started on these boards, go through some code together, and get willing participants to create some code. The code can be tested virtually, but we will also have you send the code to us and we'll upload it to our real boards, and show you the results on video chat!

Carrie Leung is a maker-educator focused on building open community platforms for young makers, educators, and industry to collaborate, learn, and connect. Outside the classroom, she built non-profit programs and spaces, MakeFashion Edu and SteamHead, to connect her community of schools, teachers, and companies with each other and to leverage the amazing technology manufacturing resources that Shenzhen is famous for.

Twila Busby has more than 20 years experience in education, where she has been an advocate and trainer for Project Based Learning. While her Shenzhen school had one of the first dedicated school makerspaces, and Twila promotes the idea that every classroom should be a makerspace, where academics support creativity and students bring their ideas into the physical world.

Join our MakeFashion Edu discussion! We will make a video that is easy for you to scrub through to find different topics:
* Amateur Electronics Design in Shenzhen
* Project Based Learning in K-12 schools
* Advocacy through Fashion and Technology

Afterwards we will do a multi-room AMA on each of the topics, with introductory instructions on lighting up ws2812b LEDs. We will have some development boards on hand to run your code on our ws2812b LEDs. Or you can just drop in to see demos and chat.

Doing way cool things is really cool.
[https://www.khanacademy.org/math/statistics-probability/designing-studies/types-studies-experimental-observational/v/worked-example-identifying-sample-study Studies show] that everyone should do cool things!]

== Full Description ==
[[Image:UpwardGraph.png|right|200px|Study showing that doing cool things is cool]] 

Participants will all learn to do cool things.

Cool things matter!

Studies show that if you do cool things, things are cool. And if you do way cool things, then things get even cooler!

I've done cool things for the past 3 years, and because of that, my life is way cooler than it was.

In this workshop I will share my experiences with you, and show you how you can do more cool things.

Of course, doing cool things takes practice -- years of practice! But, fortunately, it is cool to practice doing cool things. And this cool workshop will start you on your way to doing way cool things!
