SUMMARY:KEYNOTE: [RE]MAKING THE UNMADE: Cripping Identities Through Disabled Everyday Clothing
DESCRIPTION:[Re]Making the Unmade explores how D/deaf\, Disabled\, and Mad-identifying people creatively “hack” their everyday clothing to make it more wearable\, expressive\, and inclusive.

SUMMARY:Engineering and Auto Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:This session introduces participants to the basic engineering principles\, calculations\, and theory that underpin modern automotive systems. Through practical examples\, we will explore how concepts such as force\, torque\, mechanical advantage\, energy\, motion\, and material properties are applied to automotive design and repair. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of not only&nbsp\;how&nbsp\;automotive systems work\, but also&nbsp\;why&nbsp\;they are designed and engineered the way they are. \n

SUMMARY:Skateboard Deck Design - CCHS
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make a wood skateboard deck in shop and paint a design on the finished deck. We&nbsp\;will present how I have students make skateboards in my Grade 11 shop class. This will be an information session only. &nbsp\;It takes too long to build a board but I will have all the things that you will need on hand so you can see all the different stages of making a skateboard from rough cut maple. &nbsp\;This session may be connected to the design and artwork side of the creative process too.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Building Student Portfolios That Open Doors: From the Classroom to the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:What if students could seamlessly connect classroom learning directly to their future career paths? In career and technology education\, learning happens by doing—but effectively capturing that growth can be a challenge. In this session\, we'll show how personalized digital portfolios transform career and technology education from Grade 5 all the way through to the workplace. Starting in CTF\, students begin documenting real challenges\, reflecting on their growth\, and discovering where their strengths lie. By senior high\, that same portfolio evolves into a powerful tool for exploration\, reflection and &nbsp\;goal-setting in CTS and CTR\; becoming the "body of evidence" that RAP and Work Experience students need to demonstrate on-the-job competencies. Discover how moving beyond traditional grading to a living portfolio helps students articulate their skills to future employers and post-secondary institutions\, all while saving valuable administrative time for off-campus coordinators.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Going from CTS to CTF: It is Possible!
DESCRIPTION:In this session we will go over how to reshape your mind from the CTS high school mindset to the CTF junior high. I will share examples from my teaching career and give you the outline to design the CTF program of your dreams. My goal with this session is to show you how a Jr. High Foods class can be more than smoothies and Crudités platters. *Note: the examples will be from Foods classes but the ideas behind it can be applied to any CTF classroom.
