Afterschool Webinar:

Design Squad Latinx Dissemination Toolkit

Wednesday, Apr 10, 2024 02:00 PM ET

Come and learn all about Design Squad Latinx (DSL), an exciting bilingual (Spanish-English) initiative that engages kids ages 10-13 in the engineering design process through fun-packed, high-energy, hands-on challenges. Hear how the program was developed with and for Latinx communities in the continental United States and Puerto Rico. See how DSL encourages kids to apply their own valuable existing funds of knowledge to solve meaningful problems and, in doing so, supports them in seeing themselves as the designers, engineers, and creators they are.

After the webinar, all registrants will receive

  • Four bilingual engineering program modules with videos
  • Access to a one-hour, self-paced, online training on Design Squad Latinx
  • Professional development resources on funds of knowledge

Speakers:

  • Nicki Sirianni, Education Outreach & Marketing Manager, GBH Education
  • Leslie Brooks, Afterschool STEM Hub Manager, Afterschool Alliance
