Lunch & Learn

The Hub offers brief learning opportunities each quarter called Lunch & Learns. The format varies from face-to-face to self-paced activities to a full learning community! Below you will find not only the current Lunch & Learn, but numerous past opportunities that are still available. If you have a Lunch & Learn request or would like to host a series, please reach out coehub@latech.edu We would love to collaborate!

Blast Off Series

For the 2020-21 Fall and Winter Quarters, we provided virtual Lunch & Learns through our Blast Off series where new edtech tools were explored! Each tool introduced focused on the integration of 21st century skills in the classroom and easily aligned with ISTE standards.
