This workshop for teachers, parents, and technology integrators emphasizes learning through designing and building personally meaningful projects that support computational thinking. Experience this process yourself, and explore how to implement design-based learning with your students.

See how mathematics, art, science, language arts, and other subjects are integrated in multi-media stories, game projects, and robotic creations.

The Logo Summer Institute provides a relaxed atmosphere with a small group of colleagues and a great deal of personal attention from experienced workshop leaders.

There are three full-time facilitators:
- Hope Chafiian of the Spence School
- Steve Farnsworth of UNIS
- Michael Tempel of the Logo Foundation

Here's what some participants in previous Logo Summer Institutes had to say:*

Company was great, location wonderful, info and ideas abound...

This was the most productive professional development workshop I've attended. Valuable personal learning experience of skills that directly relates to classroom experience. Very excited to try these out next school year.

I thought it was a terrific workshop! I really learned a lot about how to use the technology. The facilitators were also great! They always were around to see how your project was going and offer great feedback on it, which was incredibly helpful :)

The level of individual attention I received was remarkable, considering the number of people in the class who were all working on complicated matters. I truly appreciated the patience, intense focus and time given by all the facilitators. Each facilitator was approachable and genuinely concerned that I learned the material.

It was a terrific week. The facilitators were all knowledgeable and helpful, the pace was perfect, and the structure lent itself to the sort of independent learning that we hope to facilitate in our own classes.
