And there’s more!!! Once educators complete the Summer Institute for Learning, they have more opportunities to continue as reflective practitioners:  1) Gizmo’s Innovative Educators are available for the 2021-2022 school year to co-think with participants as they integrate the project they designed and tested during the Summer Institute for Learning.  2) Participants are encouraged to continue co-thinking in a community of practice remotely in the Gizmo STEAM HUB.  Gizmo’s Innovative Educators will host a monthly STEAM HUB remotely and offer practitioners of student-centered education an opportunity to connect and share knowledge with each other
