SUMMARY:Collab Lab 54: Student Led Collaboration to Address Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:What if students took the lead to create a culture in school where both students and educators feel safe\, affirmed\, and free to build the skills\, knowledge\, and relationships needed to pursue their passions?\nThe pandemic did a real number on schools. That’s reflected in the mental health concerns raised by students\, and the additional strains put on teachers.  There are a bunch of folks in Milwaukee doing interesting work around youth mental health and violence issues. What could happen if that support was lined up behind issues and possibilities of greatest concern students? What if this work could happen inside of the school day?  Not just because it is an important challenge rife with opportunities for multi-disciplinary work that can connect schools to a broad range of resources and expertise out in the community\, but because we all might learn something about what students can accomplish when given a chance to take the lead. \nJoin K-12 educators\, students and organizations working on youth mental health and violence in Milwaukee to explore where and how we might get something started. \n  \nAgenda\n5:30 – 6:00 Grab something to eat and drink\, say hello \n6:00 – 6:30 Introductions \n6:30- 8:30 Let’s talk through some ideas \nFood and beverage will be provided.

SUMMARY:Collab Lab 52: Infusing the Arts

We’ll have Featured Guests who work in this context in their respective organizations to share their perspective.

SUMMARY:Collab Lab 46: Connecting Projects Across Grade Levels
DESCRIPTION:What if students collaborated across grade levels to take on a real world challenge?\nIn the real world\, major projects require the collaboration of multiple teams across a rage of disciplines and depend on the ability of individuals with varied levels of skills and experience to work effectively together.  It allows broader participation in the effort\, it is how talent is nurtured\, and how leadership skills are developed.  How might we give students the same sorts of experiences?  What might this look like?  What might this offer?

SUMMARY:Collab Lab 43: Prototyping and Testing Ideas
DESCRIPTION:What if students saw prototypes not as just a model of their solution\, but as a way to understand the problem they are trying to solve?\nToo often we see students fixate on a single solution without taking the time to embrace the problem they are taking on. How might they use prototypes or other tools early and often in the design cycle to test their understanding of the problem and the ways in might be addressed? Could that promote a shift in mindset from a fear of failure to a desire to understand the limits of potential solutions? Could that spark the kind of thinking and experimentation we want to see in students? \nJoin us to connect with K-12 colleagues from across the area\, as well as community partners from higher ed\, industry\, and non-profits to share ideas and explore options where collaborative efforts could help move things along. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Participants\nIan Corrao\, Michael Klug\, Brandon Bakken — Northwestern Mutual \nIan Corrao has been with Northwestern Mutual for over 15 years.

DESCRIPTION:What if you had the support of peers\, community partners\, and coaches to help you design and implement a real world challenge for your students?

What if you could do this not once\, but over the next few years\, to build the skills\, confidence\, and relationships to do even more? \nNow’s your chance. This summer a group of Milwaukee area teachers will become the inaugural cohort of Learn Deep Fellows. We’ll use our April Collab Lab to share more about the program\, how you can participate\, and answer questions you might have. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweet

DESCRIPTION:How would you connect STEM explorations to the design of exhibits at an interpretive center?\nPhotograph by Maria Emmerich\nThe Friends of Devil’s Lake State Park are planning a new educational/interpretive center for the park. What if we challenged students to prototype exhibits? Where do you see STEM connections? What would you want your students to experience as they think through possibilities? What would you want them to gain from the exercise? Nick Wilkes\, climbing instructor and Board Member of the Friends of Devils Lake State Park\, will join us to give a quick overview of what they hope the interpretive center might offer as a starting point for our conversation.

SUMMARY:Collab Lab 38: Building a Collaborative Learning Community for Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:What would it look like if educators and community partners could meet year-round to learn\, share ideas\, and inspire each other between in-person events?\nOur Collab Labs provide a chance for educators and community partners to connect and share ideas. We design our initiatives to provide the same opportunities.  Those opportunities to connect\, learn and inspire shouldn’t have to rely on us calling folks together.  We’ve been testing an on-line platform to support a collaborative learning community. This session will introduce the platform and our plans for rolling it out. Join with colleagues for a first look and share your thoughts on how it might support the work you want to do. \n  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweet

DESCRIPTION:What if instead of purchasing resources for hands-on STEM activities you could borrow them for the time you need them?\nResources for hands on STEM activities can get expensive.  At the same time\, they may only be used for part of a semester.  What would it look like if you could borrow the resources you need from a STEM Lending Library?  You may already have acquired resources that often sit idle.  What would make it worthwhile to loan those to colleagues?  In this session our discussion will focus on what this might look like for resources to support robotics in K-12.  Come share your thoughts and ideas.

DESCRIPTION:How might students become part of the solution for distance learning?\nWe’re working with schools on two experiments for the Covid 19 era. The first is to understand what it takes to enable student-led tech support for distance learning technology. The second is to explore how a student led effort might tap upcycled material from industry to create kits and manipulatives for hands-on engineering and math at home. \nFor this session we’ll give a quick overview of each effort and move to breakout rooms to explore each idea further. Have ideas you want to share\, interested in getting involved or starting something at your school?  Here’s your chance. \nJoin us on Zoom! \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweet

SUMMARY:STEM Education in a Time of Distance Learning
DESCRIPTION:A follow up conversation…\nAt STEM Forward’s sySTEMnow conference on Thursday October 29th we’ll facilitate a discussion on how to effectively engage students in STEM education under distance learning.  At the conference\, we’ll run separate breakout groups for elementary\, middle\, and high school.  This follow up session will give us a chance to recap what we heard on Thursday\, and explore where collaborative efforts might address some of the issues raised. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweet

SUMMARY:Learn Deep Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Frustrated teaching at a social distance?\nTake a break and join some K-12 colleagues who are also working through the challenges of engaging students in meaningful learning from a distance. We’re kicking off a new series of informal small group discussions to help you stay connected and hear how others are adapting practices for the COVID-19 era. Sessions will run every Wednesday from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm on Zoom. \nThe sessions are free\, but as we begin this experiment we’re limiting the number of participants for each one. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweet
