We are gathering people together to reflect on how educators and learners can support Digital Equity and would love for you to join us. Design Jams are focused on participatory design, meaning involving people’s thoughts and experiences as a way to guide the process and meet the needs and co-create useful results. We wish to co-create a space to be focused on providing “unconference” time, an opportunity for self-organizing and connecting with others to network, share how to partner and problem solve in digital navigation, and other digital equity opportunities to collaborate in.

Remote Design Jam on Friday, June 16th, 10a-11:30a PST (RSVP here)

Lunch and In-Person Design Jam on Friday, June 23, 11a-3p PST (RSVP here)

  • How can educators and learners elevate those with lived experiences of digital inequities to shape interventions and distribution of resources? 

  • What is a situation in your work that brought you joy?

  • What is your experience and your thoughts about teaching and learning digital equity? 

  • How can we support the next generation of digital equity leaders?

  • What is a situation in your work that has been challenging, and you felt you or the communities you serve were under-resourced?
