Denver Pop Culture Con 2017 is just around the corner! This year we have over 250 hours of education-based panels focusing on everything from teaching with cosplay to using board games in your classroom to engaging students with independent films, and so much more! These panels are all part of our overall nonprofit educational mission: to use pop culture to educate, inspire and engage students and teachers everywhere!
To help you keep track of these exciting opportunities, we have compiled a full list of these education panels at the Con at the link below.

But wait, there’s more! At this link, and to further help you plan your DPCC weekend, we have also created a list of interest tracks, which divide the education panels into seven categories:
- Art, Diversity/Gender Issues
- Film/Television
- Gaming/Technology, Science
- Teaching/Pedagogy
- Writing/Literature
We have also included a Panel Tracking sheet, which is designed to help you easily keep track of all the educational panels you attended in a simple, organized way.
For easy access to these panels leading up to and during the event, we also encourage you to download the all-new Pop Culture Classroom app. You can use this to create a schedule of panels to attend and receive advance reminders about events and activities, as well as stay updated on any scheduling changes that may occur, as all panel times and locations are subject to change.
Finally, we offer ALL educators the chance to receive a certificate for panel hours attended at DPCC. All you need to do is send a scanned version of your completed Panel Tracking Sheet into education@popcultureclassroom.org by July 7th, 2017. We will send you a certificate that you can provide to your schools and/or program for recertification/professional development hours.
Our unique approach to supporting educators and innovating education is part of what makes Denver Pop Culture Con special each year. We can’t wait to celebrate another stellar year with you, and we hope these panels
