  Nothing says spring like backyard games, hotdogs, a cold beverage, and spending time with family and friends. Join Southeast PAECT at Fluxspace on April 27th for all that and more. 

  We are hosting a competitive yet fun cornhole tournament. All abilities are welcome as we are featuring a unique "Switcholio" style for the initial rounds, leading into a double elimination bracket to determine the ultimate winners. (In layman's terms this means more experienced players will be paired with less experienced to even out the playing field.) 

  For kids there will be a cornhole area set up as well as other family friendly activities. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. This event is BYOB. In addition, paid PAECT members will also receive a raffle ticket to win prizes!

  
  

  Cost to Enter:

  $35 for Free PAECT Members and Guests

  $25 for Paid PAECT Members

  *Half the cost of entry will go towards cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place

  Getting Started With Gamification

  Are you ready to embark on an educational journey into gamification, but aren't sure where to start? Join NWPAECT for conversation and coaching as you develop an exciting and engaging learning experience for your classroom!

  Inspired by the pages of John Meehan’s thought-provoking book, EDrenaline Rush, this workshop will offer an overview of what it means to gamify any learning space! The event kicks off with a brief presentation and time for networking with other educators. The spotlight of the event will be on experiencing gamification firsthand and lesson/unit plan development.

  Attendees will receive a bag of supplies along with dedicated time for coaching and workshopping. This will allow them to create a ready-to-go gamified lesson for their classroom! This hands-on segment promises to be an engaging time of collaboration and networking.

  Join us on May 7th to unlock the potential of gamified learning in an environment that nurtures inspiration and practical skill development. Registration is free for all PAECT members and/or guests, and ACT 48 credit will be available!
