Introducing PA Unplugged Greenhouse. The PA Unplugged Greenhouse is a space for cultivation — ideas, community, and connection. Energy builds, advocacy grows, ideas take root, and people work side by side to bring something new to life. Join Andy Liddell from EdTech Law Center, for the first Greenhouse chat. PA Unplugged will host an in-depth discussion for all things ed tech. Bring your questions about screens in schools, data privacy, opting-out, and more. Leave inspired to better advocate in your homes, schools, and communities (and perhaps join us in Harrisburg!) This event will be recorded.

Come and learn what the Balance Project is all about! We will discuss how to decrease unnecessary tech use in schools and offer support for delaying your child's smartphone and helping your child experience more independent play in the real world. We are looking for committee members to help lead our Leesburg group-- join us to see if you're a good fit! Invite anyone you think may be interested. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Join us for a learning night on how to engage with schools and districts on bringing balance to technology in schools. We will review ways to successfully engage with school stakeholders that helps to plan with the goals of prioritizing student mental health, cognitive development, and finding balance with technology in schools. Our focus will be grounded in research on cognitive load, digital distraction, and child & adolescent well-being and supporting balance project communities who seek to move toward a more intentional, “less‑is‑more” approach to technology in schools. We will look at ways to practically reduce non-essential digital tools and ensuring that technology is used only where it clearly enhances learning or accessibility. We hope to build a through thread that balance with in person interactions and purposeful tech is also achievable in school.
