<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">The “Hackathon” for Educators</H2>
Develop and Create a multi-disciplinary lesson plan that integrates technology, standards, data, and pedagogy through a creative problem-based collaborative learning environment. Get targeted training, so you can “pitch” present your group lesson plan while learning from each other. 
Turn around the next day and implement a complete lesson in your classrooms!   
<H3>What's a Hackaton? </H3>
The technology industry has been using the concept of a "Hackathon" for years--which is an event, lasting several days, in which many people meet to engage in collaboration to create something-- usually software and hardware technology within a certain theme. It is set up like a competition to encourage individual motivation will creating a team atmosphere. Sometimes, the Hack will have workshops to provide knowledge and skills needed to complete the tasks for the Hackathon. Besides technology, other industries are starting to adopt the Hackathon concept to create their product development. 
<H3>What will the training look like? </H3>
Your days will be action packed with meaningful interactions with other educators and mentors. There are ToolBox sessons where you can learn about how to use the technology tools, standards, data, pedegogy, and design thinking. 
The ToolBox sessions are custom designed for you based on your 21PDGuide. This assessment is used as a tool to help guide you through what types of future educator professional development is right for you throughout the year. The 21PDGuide helps create you find the right the best group for you to work with.
