ACTEM is looking for a wide variety of presentations and presenters. *We are looking for the following types of sessions:* Half-day, Hands-On Sessions: These are hands-on workshops where participants can dig deeply into a topic, try out new ideas, and create or develop something they can use in their schools. *One-Hour Breakout Sessions:* These are the traditional conference sessions where a presenter introduces and discusses an idea, shares something that has worked for him or her, or inspires the participants to try something new. There may or may not be a hands-on component, but audience participation is encouraged. *5-Minute Ignite Sessions:* This is a fun and exciting way to share an idea. The presenter has 20 slides that are timed to change at 15-second intervals, for a total of ve minutes. These are carefully designed, well-rehearsed presentations. For an example, check out this talk from Ignite Sydney: Prisoners Who Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgIJqG_DCgA *DID YOU KNOW...* Presenter's (and up to one co-presenters) registration for the day of your workshop are offered FREE, as a thank you for being part of our conference program (annual ACTEM membership dues are not included).
