In a few short weeks, I’ll be presenting some of my favorite tools for a free presentation from School Library Journal. Register for the event here.

I’m focusing my 15 minutes on entry level coding for making games or VR/AR experiences, sites for tinkering with code (aka computational tinkering), and then talking about some of my new favorite maker tools to mash up with cardboard. Join me, Jaime Donally from #globalmakerday, and Jessica Lindl the Global Head of Education from Unity, to find some of your new favorite tools and resources for your classroom, library, or makerspace!
