It has been just over a year since the first ScIC launched. And WOW, what a year it has been. ScIC has attracted 46,436 teachers from 158 countries, creating a fast-growing, dynamic place to discover new tools and creative solutions to important challenges. Thank you for being the very best part of ScIC, an educator community that just gets each other. Creating these events for you has been the very best thing about the last year. ScIC is brought to you by PocketLab As we celebrate this one year anniversary, we also want to celebrate the people behind the scenes. The first ScIC came together quickly, in about ten days, led by a tiny internal team at PocketLab. A virtual unconference felt like the best response to a pandemic that changed everything. It struck a chord, so we kept going. Since then, every ScIC event has been organized and managed by the folks at PocketLab, and it has been a labor of love to bring together the incredible presenters with the extended ScIC community. PocketLab has been this kind of “behind the scenes” sponsor on purpose, to keep the focus on the teachers and presenters, all the while making this virtual unconference happen. As part of celebrating ScIC’s one year anniversary, we’d like to spotlight PocketLab and share what we are all about. What is PocketLab? PocketLab is an interactive, hands-on, remote-ready system for learning science with everything science teachers need to bring labs and lessons to life. Think: Sensors + Software + Lessons + Community |
