We enjoy sharing our passion via speaking. Our current keynote, The One Creating is the One Who is Learning, explores lessons we have learned about meaningful creating in our five year adventure working on the YouTube channel The Amoeba Sisters. We focus on the "why" and "how" for providing opportunities for students to create in the classroom.

We additionally present hands-on sessions where we show our favorite ways to involve students as creators in the classroom.

Finalists in Rather Prize 2016
In our presentations, we are passionate about promoting students as creators and not just consumers. Our idea for a student creation showcase organized by curriculum standards had made it to the finalist round along with nine other ideas submitted by other educators. 

​We continue to look for ways to support student creation.  We have designed a page to support students as creators,  and each topic in our new Unlectured Series includes ideas for involving students in creating with the content.
