Join us for a thrilling two-day workshop filled with STEM fun, hands-on learning, and Halloween magic! Monster Mash Bash is designed to blend the excitement of coding, circuits, and rovers with essential Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) skills, all through engaging, accessible, and inclusive activities. Day 1: Teacher Training (Professional Development) Educators will dive into the world of accessible STEM through interactive sessions where they’ll learn how to adapt and implement coding, robotics, and circuit-building activities for students who are blind or visually impaired. Focus will be on aligning these activities with ECC skill areas such as assistive technology, compensatory skills, and orientation & mobility. Day 2: Student & Teacher STEM Experience - An ECC Event Students and their teachers will explore a variety of spooky-themed STEM stations, including: * Code the Haunted Maze – Program rovers through a sound- and texture-rich path using directional coding. * Circuit Cauldron – Build simple tactile circuits with Halloween flair. * Monster Bot Dance-Off – Create and code dancing robots in a frightfully fun challenge. * Potion of Power Lab – Practice independent living skills through a sensory potion-making station. * Escape the Haunted Lab – Team up to solve tech-based puzzles using Braille, audio cues, and collaboration. Students will also practice ECC skills like self-advocacy, social interaction, and recreation in a fully inclusive, festive environment. Costumes encouraged. Creativity required. Learning guaranteed. Let’s brew up some STEM magic together at the Monster Mash Bash! #VIESC1

**Session open ONLY to Region One District Educators** Step into the Behavior League, where the most powerful classroom allies—assistive technology, behavior supports, and family engagement—join forces to transform challenging behaviors into opportunities for growth. In this dynamic, hands-on training, educators will learn how to decode the function behind behaviors, apply practical AT tools, and use data to drive effective, individualized support. Participants will rotate through interactive stations to create ready-to-use visual tools, explore strategies for collecting meaningful behavior and progress data, and design simple take-home kits to empower families as partners in behavior intervention. Grounded in best practices and real-world application, this session provides everything you need to build strong behavior systems that work across settings and with everyone on the team—students, teachers, and families. Whether you're new to behavior planning or ready to take your toolkit to the next level, this session will leave you equipped, energized, and ready to join the league of educators who make lasting change. #ATESC1 #AUESC1 #ECSEESC1 #LIDESC1

Students with Visual Impairments will have an opportunity to greet and gather with other students from around Region One during this Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) Event. Students will practice learning and communicating with each other with guidance from TSVIs and O&M Specialists from around the Region. The following ECC Skills will be addressed during this event: Compensatory; Sensory Efficiency; Assistive Technology; Orientation & Mobility; Social Interaction; Self-Determination; Independent Living; Recreation & Leisure; and Career Education. Our Theme will be "The Polar Express - A Journey Through the Senses" Students will participate in various group activities to work on their ECC Skills. They will then have an opportunity to socialize during a luncheon, afterwards, all students will be invited to dance with the group. This event is a "Dress to Impress" ECC Event.
