Slowing down to meet our students' needs is essential as teaching and learning shifts online in response to extended school closures. #covid19 #ousd #makered https://t.co/YUVSSbYB1y

We thank everyone for their interest and have contacted all registrants to allow them first access for the rescheduled program.

[SMCOE STEAM Center @STEAMcentric]

Following guidance of local health departments, we will postpone Creativity Residencies, with plans to reschedule for a future set of dates. This is due to the “non-essential” nature of this program and some partner locations for the event temporarily changing visitor policies.

Everything shifts when you stop simply talking about #creativity. Immerse in it & rediscover #joy. Creativity Residencies: Building #Mindsets for #Future-Ready #Educators @SMCOETweet
#STEAM @STEAMcentric Just a few slots remain. https://t.co/nTYhQhHbi8 #experiential #learning

[SMCOE STEAM Center @STEAMcentric]

For those following our STEM Fair, we will be holding it still, just in a virtual format. All students and judges have received emails about the change. Thank you!

[SMCOE STEAM Center @STEAMcentric]

We're sad not to be able to celebrate all the great work happening in schools across the county this year, but are looking toward an even more exciting #TheNextBigThink in 2021!

[Lime Design @limedsgn]

It's time for the rebirth of spring and the rebirth of your #creativity! Our #professionaldevelopment program is all about celebrating and elevating #teachers in @SMCOETweet Register here: https://t.co/eS98LJTYFR
