What brings together forty+ educators from the greater Kalamazoo area during the summer? TinkerZoo, of course! During this one day camp, the TinkerZoo team (with some help from Anne Thorp, Gayle Underwood, Matt McCullough, and Josh Nichols) provided 5 different sessions on how to integrate cool technology in the classroom. This year's sessions included Breakout EDU, Virtual Reality, STEAM (littleBits, Makey Makey, and Keva Planks), and Robots. Our guest speaker, Josh Nichols, presented on CrossBraining, an innovative approach to student reflection and connection of literacy and STEAM. 

During the afternoon, attendees had time to take a deep dive into one session of their choice. In an effort to create an artifact to use in their classroom, educators considered standards aligned to the different activities and subject integration. They also had the support of an expert and other educators while they were working.

REMC12W provided some awesome giveaways which were selected from the wheel of fate. 10 lucky winners received Breakout Boxes, 5 winners received a set of Google Cardboards, and one exceptionally fortunate person won a GoPro! (Thanks again to Josh!) Throughout the day, we hosted a GooseChase, which is an online scavenger hunt. GooseChase is an easy way to document an event through pictures. Below are some of our attendees submissions. Thanks to everyone who came to TinkerZoo 2017!
