The success of this conference begins and ends with its teachers. Besides your inspiring attitude, we recommend writing teachers bring a notebook for touring the museum and a laptop. The laptop will allow you to connect your students to their assigned Google Document. You'll receive instructions on this before the conference begins.

Art teachers should bring a sketchbook and laptop. The laptop will enable you to assist students in photographing their work for the book and uploading the image of their work to a Google Folder, which will be shared with you for the event.
