This session sounds fantastic. I have visited your website and WOW, thank you for sharing.
I am a parent homeschooling my 3 kids and have so little opportunity for my kids to have tangible reason for creating projects. Their only audience is mum, dad and maybe a friend.
My Hero movies will motivate them to choose the subject wisely and create to the best of their ability because they have a global audience.
I am looking forward to your session to empower me to teach my children through your project.
