Sylvia Martinez - Invent to Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom

I met with Sylvia at a learning conference a few year ago. I like her thinking and it's great to see her promoting the maker movement. 

Her message: teachers need to be clear about what they believe about learning.

Sylvia works in schools around the world to bring the power of authentic learning into classrooms, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) subjects. Sylvia speaks, writes, and advocates for student-centered, project-based learning, gender equity in technology, computer programming, and life-long learning. For the past ten years, Sylvia was President of Generation YES, a non-profit with a mission of empowering young people to improve their schools and communities with modern technology. Previous to Generation YES, Sylvia was in charge of product development at several software publishers, designing and creating video games and educational software.
