I want to go on a field trip to…Check out the Unconference

Have you heard about the upcoming Unconference 2013: Game On hosted by Pittsburgh Association for the Education of Young Children. On November 16, 2013, 200 early childhood educators will participate in one of five field trip options. Immediately following the trip, they will finish the day at Google Pittsburgh with a share out session attended by app contest winners. Participants will travel on field trips to visit both educational and non-educational based companies. These companies are on the cutting edge in creative thinking, focused based innovation and employ technology in unconventional manners. I need multiple clones so I could enjoy everyone of these events in person. The events include:

· MakeShop at Children’s Museum & Maya Design, Inc.

· Educational Technology Center at CMU & The Union Project

· Etcetera Edutainment & Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse

· Create Lab at CMU & Dream Flight Adventures at Shaler Elementary

· Google Pittsburgh & TechShop

Since I’m a frequent visitor to MakeShop, Pittsburgh Center for Creative Resuse, Google Pittsburgh and TechShop, I’m signing up for option 2. I hope to see you at Google Pittsburgh at the end of the day to share in all the innovative things happening in education in Pittsburgh.
