  Meeting ID: 863 3310 7371
  Passcode: PICUP
  
  Guest Presenter: Terrie Galanti, University of North Florida
  
  How do we inspire our STEM students to perceive computation as a creative and innovative endeavor? In her talk titled "Meaning Making in Computational Thinking", Dr. Terrie Galanti draws upon her experiences as an electrical engineer, high school mathematics teacher, and K-16 STEM Education researcher to ponder logical thinking though the eyes of the learner. As they respond to questions that make computational thinking visible, students can grow to see themselves as productive STEM thinkers.
  
  Not available next Thursday evening? The webinar will be recorded for your viewing pleasure.
