Sometimes the most memorable moments at a conference happen when people pause, share an idea, and watch it come to life. Drawn Together is a playful interactive experience where participants step into Manuel’s handmade cardboard doodle booth and share an idea, a hope for their classroom, or a thought about learning.

As they talk, Manuel Herrera  creates a quick illustrated portrait that captures both the person and the idea they shared. The result is a one-of-a-kind drawing that celebrates the connection between people, ideas, and creativity. The experience invites curiosity, sparks conversation, and gives participants a small piece of art they can take with them. It also becomes a visual collection

of the ideas and voices present at the event. Participants walk away with a drawing that reflects both their personality and their thinking.

Explore emerging tools, swap practical strategies, and get hands-on in 50-minute interactive sessions spanning AI, Computer Science, Digital Literacy, STEM, Accessibility, Leadership, and Universal Design for Learning.

A multi-presenter space designed for educators, by educators, come ready to try new things and walk away with ideas you can use Monday morning.

The Educator Playground will feature sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Full schedule coming soon.

See K–12 students in action as creators, problem-solvers, and leaders in the CUEKids Student Showcase located in the G-P Atrium.
