Agile Toolkits for High School Projects

– or –

What is Agile?

Agile is a group of methodologies that offer an iterative approach to managing work. It allows a group to self organize and communicate in ways that make work transparent and help manage challenges. This workshop will take Project-Based Learning experiences to the next level as students build product backlogs, complete sprints, hold stand up meetings, retrospectives and more. Bring learning to life and empower your students with skills that mirror those used in start-ups and software development worldwide.
