CALIE Live Labs is a professional learning series designed to solve real problems educators face in their classrooms and schools. Each month features a short, supported learning cycle that emphasizes hands-on creation, community collaboration, and meaningful recognition.

Do you have great ideas for interactive content – quizzes that adapt, simulations that visualize concepts, games that review key ideas – but you don’t know how to build them? Feeling stuck with outdated or generic templates and activities?
In this Live Lab session, you will learn how to break free from limited tools that don’t capture student imagination or offer multiple paths for students to show what they know. Build web-based quizzes, simulations, and interactive tools in minutes—no programming experience required. Join us to turn your content ideas into actual working tools your students can use tomorrow.
What are Live Labs?
CALIE Live Labs is not just another PD opportunity—it’s a paradigm shift in how educators can learn and grow.
If you’re tired of:
- Professional development that feels like wasted time
- Knowing about tools but never feeling confident enough to use them
- Innovating alone without support or recognition
- Learning that doesn’t connect to your classroom or campus
Then Live Labs is built for you.
You’ll create real resources, connect with real educators, receive real recognition, and walk away with real confidence. And you’ll do it in a way that actually fits into your life, not another obligation that drains you, but an experience that energizes and empowers you.
CALIE Live Labs are for educators at any grade level or role who want practical, collaborative support solving real classroom and school challenges.
No prior experience with specific tools is required—Live Labs focus on adaptable strategies that work across classrooms, roles, and contexts.
Key Features of Live Labs
- Create, Don’t Just Consume

Collaborate with educators across grade levels and contexts. No isolation, just shared problem-solving. - Low-Risk Experimentation, Real Impact
