Brain Diversity and the iGeneration - A Conference for Parents, Teaches and Studens

We invite you to join us at our Race To Nowhere follow-up event. At this conference we will learn how technology has facilitated new insights to the brain that are revolutionizing practices in education and parenting. At the same time, technology pervades our daily lives and students (digital natives) beg to be taught differently and clamor for relevance. We will discuss how theories of learning, parenting and teaching are evolving and what we can do to encourage and support brain development in the iGeneration at home and school.

Speakers include:

Martha Kaufeldt, author of "Begin with the Brain", a master teacher and frequent presenter. Most recently she spoke at the 28th annual "Learning and the Brain" Conference in San Francisco.

Yalda T. Uhls, M.A., M.B.A., a research scientist at the Children’s Digital Media Center@Los Angeles, a doctoral candidate in psychology at UCLA, and frequent speaker and writer on digital media and development. She recently presented her research to the Society for Research in Child Development in Montreal (to be published mid 2011).

While adults attend the conference students in grades 2-6 can attend our exciting interactive program.  Activities will include workshops in Lego Robotics and Neuroscience!
