STEM: Making a Difference. The fields of science, technology, engineering and math — collectively known as STEM — are revolutionizing the world around us.

STEM: Making a Difference

From solar panels and mobile phones to cancer treatments and robotic arms, innovations through STEM are addressing global challenges and offering global solutions. But STEM isn’t just for adults. Meet a few young people who are using STEM to have fun and make a difference. Team Detroit A team of students envisioned a better future for Detroit through engineering. Despite a series of setbacks, including a fire that destroyed not only their original project but their entire school, the students were eager to rebuild their model and enter the competition. Their perseverance paid off. Jocelyn Hernandez, Ricardo Rodriguez, Nathaly Salazar and Carlos Zapata, all 13-year-old students from San Antonio, Texas, formed Team DR.

The team conducted tests of several common medications and analyzed their results. Brittany Wenger Clara Louisa Fannjiang Naomi Shah Aidan Dwyer. The Real World Starts Here…Come be part of it!

Our visit to Forest Hart’s studio went very well! Thank you Idialis, Zack, James, and Tara for their help building the new Hampden Academy Bronco sculpture! We started around 10:00 am in Mr. Hart’s new studio. We worked like an assembly line – one cut the clay into sections, another would create coils to wrap around the wire, another would make “pancakes” to attach to the coils that is the foundation. We ended our time there around 1:30 and arrived at the Hampden Academy parking lot at 2:00.

Hampden Academy students and faculty are granted a rare opportunity to participate in the special process of BIG TIME sculpture! Our next visit may include news coverage. STEAM: Experts Make Case for Adding Arts to STEM. UserID: iCustID:

DTEACh Overview

AUSTIN, TEXAS—March 8, 2011 We all hear about the importance of improving STEM education for K-12th graders and getting more people excited about the vast possibilities with engineering innovations. Two of the award-winning professors here at the Cockrell School of Engineering answered that call by creating the Design, Technology, & Engineering for All Chilren (DTEACh) program and Professional Development Institute (PDI) almost 20 years ago. Over the past 18 years, more than 700 educators and 60,000 students have been impacted by the program, which features integration of engineering design challenges into other disciplines… from literature to science and mathematics to art.

Teacher Training By Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski - Part 18

Each training session was three hours in length, just enough time to introduce the teachers to hands-on-minds-on STEM investigations that help to develop and strengthen critical thinking skills in students. My goal is to present to the teachers that they can use inexpensive, readily available, and even recyclable items to teach STEM concepts. From using the school yard, campus architecture, playgrounds as tools to develop critical thinking skills in their students. Teacher Training Workshops by Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski. Dr.

Foundations and Assessment of Education/Edition 1/Foundations Table of Contents/Chapter 11/11.1.2. Hands On, Minds On - Active Learning Strategies: (Engaging the Student in Learning) By Carol Halligan Introduction[edit] How did you learn in school?

Foundations and Assessment of Education/Edition 1/Foundations Table of Contents/Chapter 11/11.1.2

If your learning experience was like mine, the teacher lectured and I took notes. What Chickering and Gamson are referring to is “active learning.” Active learning means “hands on” working on things, and “minds on” reflecting upon the work which engages the student in learning. As future teachers, we owe it to our students to go beyond traditional methods of teaching which is lecturing and taking notes to more active learning methods that help students become involved in their own education.
