Middle and high school\u00a0students have until Nov. 1, 2023 to enter<\/strong>\u00a0apps in this national contest that started as a way to encourage students to learn code and inspire them to pursue careers in computer science.\u00a0 Learn more about this exciting and prestigious\u00a0 competition and guidelines\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tis the season for pumpkin spice and lots of travel!\u00a0 The MAD-learn team is busy this month visiting teachers and schools – and attending conferences to spread the MAD-love!\u00a0 We visited teachers in Avonworth School District in Pennsylvania earlier this month to teach them how to use MAD-learn with their students, and then it was off to NYC to work with teachers from 22 different schools on a phenomenal civic action project initiative (learn more about it in our November issue of APPetizers).\u00a0 While there, we got to visit with one of our phenomenal Millenium Art Academy teachers, Jacqueline Johnson, who you may recognize from our Teacher Takeover event last month.\u00a0 Later this month, we\u2019ll be in Athens for the\u00a0GA STEM\/STEAM Forum<\/a>\u00a0and we\u2019re a proud sponsor of\u00a0CIMC Fall Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Wilmington, North Carolina. We are also heading back to New York for the\u00a0LITES<\/a>\u00a0conference.\u00a0 We hope to see some of our amazing MAD-ambassadors at these events and meet many more who will become future MAD-teachers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could all use a little light and happiness in our lives. There is much to be hopeful for despite the ongoing struggle for global peace and safety. Our trusted “Don’t Worry, Be APPy” sticker traveled to Germany and Turkey to spread some cheer.\u00a0Pictured below:\u00a0Nymphenburg Palace<\/a>\u00a0in Munich, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, we\u2019re spotlighting not one, but two incredible Cobb County teachers at Dodgen Middle School: Christine Eintertson and Kaylee Moody.  They both teach ELA Literacy Applications and wanted to integrate mobile app development with their middle schoolers – which goes to show you really can use MAD-learn in any curriculum and content.  They are even presenting how to incorporate technology in your ELA (or any core content) classroom at the upcoming GaETC conference<\/a> Nov. 1-3 in Atlanta with the apropos theme \u201cinnovate to educate\u201d – and we know these two phenomenal educators are already killing it in that department with their creative and open-minded approach to taking literacy to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
