Network Science and Education Symposium
NetSciEd6 was a blast! Lots of new ideas and initiatives were presented. We thank all the speakers and participants for the great discussions!
NetSciEd6: The Sixth NetSci Satellite Symposium on Network Science and Education was held at NetSci 2017 in Indianapolis, IN, on June 20th, 2017. This followed the success of the first five NetSciEd satellites held in 2012--2016. NetSciEd6 is a perfect venue to discuss anything related to network science and education, including educational activities to teach/learn network science as well as applications of network science to understand, model and improve educational systems and practices.
We invite speakers and participants to this exciting, rapidly expanding front of network science. Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to:
Outreach activities, tools, and materials
Curricular development and practices for teaching network science
Use of network-science concepts and tools to teach traditional subjects in K-12 education
Teacher education, informal education
Network modeling and analysis of educational systems, curricular materials, classroom/school dynamics
Applications of network science for the improvement of education
We will look forward to having active, productive discussions on this important area of network science!
