Re-engaging the Unenthusiastic: Best Practices for Large-Scale Group Work

Tuesday July 14, 2026 2:00pm - 2:50pm CDT

Room 95

Managing 40 to 65+ students during hands-on, collaborative projects can feel overwhelming—especially when working with unenthusiastic learners and high-risk materials like paint, hot glue, and papier-mâché.
