For teachers

Bring the work your students already did.

No application, no cost, no polished final product required. If your students spent time this year on something they chose, shaped or cared about, it belongs here.

What you bring

Your students and their work, and a description in your own words. That's the list.

What we provide

A room or space, tables and chairs, power, signage and the program. Room assignment two weeks out.

What it costs

Nothing, for you or your district. Families come free.

Common questions

Does my principal need to approve it? Most teachers inform rather than ask. It's outside school hours and costs the district nothing. We're glad to send a one-page explainer.

What if the project isn't finished? Better if it isn't. Students talking about what they're still figuring out is more interesting than a polished result.

How many students? A handful to a full class. Some groups send a rotating team of ambassadors.

What grade levels? First graders and IB seniors have exhibited in the same building on the same night.
