STEM Education in a Time of Distance Learning
At 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.
Collab Lab 36: Experiments for Distance Learning
Zoom Meeting , United StatesHow might students become part of the solution for distance learning? We'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.
Collab Lab 37: A Lending Library for STEM Resources
Zoom Meeting , United StatesResources 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. Let's see if we can make something happen!
Collab Lab 38: Building a Collaborative Learning Community for Milwaukee
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? Our Collab Labs provide a chance for educators and community partners to connect and share ideas.
Collab Lab 39: Exhibit design as a point of engagement
How would you connect STEM explorations to the design of exhibits at an interpretive center? Photograph by Maria Emmerich The Friends of Devil's Lake State Park are planning a new educational/interpretive center for the park. What if we challenged students
Collab Lab 40: Learn Deep Fellows
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 that experience could expose students to the work of area firms, the resources
Learn Deep Fellows: Information Session
Our Fellows program kicks off this summer! Here's your chance to ask questions and learn more about the program. The Learn Deep Fellows Program is a community based approach to equip and prepare Milwaukee area teachers to provide K-12 students
Collab Lab 41: Welcome Learn Deep Fellows!
We'll wrap up our 5th season of Collab Labs by welcoming our first cohort of Learn Deep Fellows. As a warm up to the work they'll embark upon, we'll talk through where they see interesting opportunities to engage students and ways that might be done.
Collab Lab 42: Learn Deep Fellows – Water Projects
WE Energies STEM Center at MSOE 1444 North Water Street, Milwaukee, WI, United StatesWhat if students could collaborate across schools to explore issues around sustainable, equitable access to water with a Milwaukee focus? This summer our first cohort of Learn Deep Fellows came together with the support of community partners to design a
Collab Lab 43: Prototyping and Testing Ideas
WE Energies STEM Center at MSOE 1444 North Water Street, Milwaukee, WI, United StatesWhat 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? Too often we see students fixate on a single solution without taking the time
