About this Event

Join Digital Promise on Saturday, Feb. 8, at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET, for Edcamp: YouthMADE, an online unconference-style professional development for and by educators.

Edcamp: YouthMADE is a unique learning opportunity for educators to support one another, identify and discuss similar challenges, and amplify best practices and resources. Edcamps are free public events that leverage the knowledge and experiences of attendees who submit session topics of interest to guide the discussions and learning of the day.

Tenets of the Edcamp model:

Free and open to all: Edcamps never charge a fee and are open to educators of all levels, subjects, and schools.
Participant-driven: Edcamps allow participants to collaboratively determine session topics. Session topics are sourced from those attending the Edcamp and the session board can be built the day of the Edcamp or prior to depending on the platform and time availability.
Experience, not experts: Edcamps encourage participants to share their experiences and knowledge. We encourage conversations, not planned presentations.
Rule of two feet / clicks: Edcamps encourage participants to find sessions that meet their needs to maximize learning. If you are in a session that is not meeting your needs, we encourage you to move on to another session that may be better suited.
Vendor free: Edcamps may not sell any goods/services or require attendees to purchase goods or services.

About this Edcamp:

The YouthMADE (Youth Making, Activism, Art, and Design in Education) Festival is a global celebration of youth creativity and innovation by Digital Promise, taking place from May 5-18, 2025.

In advance of the 2025 YouthMADE Festival, Edcamp: YouthMADE invites educators to share their experiences and expertise as they discuss ways to support and facilitate youth making, activism, art, and design in education. Together, we will hold space for discussions, sharing, and networking as we build a community among educators interested in designing learning experiences that foster youth voice, creativity, and innovation.

During registration, attendees will have an opportunity to submit topics used to build the session board for day-of discussions. The session board will be displayed during the event, and attendees will choose which session discussions they want to participate in.
