How This Works

Blaze a trail through the Solutions Hub Expo at the co-located ISTELive 26 and ASCD Annual 26 conference! This guided journey will take you to selected innovative exhibitors focused on STEM tools. Here's how to participate:

     1. Start at the Trailblazer Base Camp (Booth #2269) where our team will welcome you.

     2. Visit the Trailhead counters to pick up a physical map of this route -- or create your own.

     3. Collect conversation guide at the Trailhead to guide your vendor discussion.

     4. Speak with at least two vendors on your route using at least 2 of the questions provided.

     5. Return to Booth #2269 to share what you learned.

     6. Spin the prize wheel to win a premium insulated tumbler or other exciting swag.

 

Meet Your Guide 

 

Gail Lovely, Independent Educator

Hello! I am Gail Lovely, a life-long early learning-focused educator. I have been to more educational conferences than I can count, and I know how the Expo Hall can be a wondrously overwhelming circus of things to explore. The Expo is filled with shiny, bright, noisy, busy objects, people, and ideas. 

As you explore this Trailblazer path in the Expo, you will visit booths both large and well-known AND those smaller booths as well. Look at what is there, think about how it might support Computational Thinking, meaningful exploration of ideas, and possibilities for YOUR learners. Look for active learning opportunities for your learners and ask lots of questions. Talk to others in the Hall and share your excitement, AND your wondering. One last thought: feel free to wander off this path if something catches your eye, and then return to it as you move along — this is only part of your learning journey! Have FUN!
