Education Meetup
This session is an opportunity for campers to discuss their past/current/future work in education. Suggested format is a brief talk/presentation (~3-5min) followed by Q&A/discussion. Aiming to be inclusive of diverse experiences campers may have to share (formal education, informal, K-12, higher ed, US, international, etc.). If you don't have anything to present but want to listen in or join the discussion that's cool too.

This is great! I wonder if we could work on an educator\'s camp proposal for the month of July. Teachers are paying practically the same price to fly from all over the world for Gary Stager and Sylvia Martinez\'s workshops.
