Are you ready for the Schoolbox Meetup 2017?
As you may know, this year we’ve given the Meetup a bit of a shake up in format to ensure you get the most out of the two day event.
#SBMu17 will be held in Melbourne on Thursday, August 31st and Friday, September 1st at The Centre Ivanhoe. There will be plenty of room for numerous breakout sessions, all aimed at helping you discover Schoolbox best practice and make the most of your investment.
As well as our 7 breakout sessions, with 3 streams in each session, we have organised an inspirational guest speaker that truly encompasses the ‘Discover’ theme of the Meetup this year.
Introducing Bec Spink
We are so pleased to announce Bec Spink, co-founder of Melbourne-based education startup Code The Future, has taken time out of her busy schedule to join us at the Meetup!
Assistant Principal Bec Spink partnered with Digital Marketer Will Egan in 2014 to create a website that connects volunteer developers with teachers and schools, to encourage and teach students how to code.
Bec is a passionate educator, learner, leader and speaker, having presented at both national and international events. Her goal in life is to empower children to solve real-world problems through learning and a curious mind. She continuously supports and advocates for the next wave of change in schools and we can’t wait to be inspired by her!
