  1. STEM A Presentation by Shannon M. Colburn Growing Imaginations through Concept Based Curriculum

  2. What is blooming in your students’ brains? • Science • Technology • Engineering • Mathematics

  3. Think and Respond • What is _______________ • Science • Technolgy • Engineering • Mathematics What’s the difference?

  4. New vs. Renamed • Is STEM really a new idea or are we giving what we already do in our classrooms a new name? • YOU do this already and perhaps just don’t recognize it under this new acronym.

  5. Concept-Based Units • By using CBCUs to teach gifted students, you are not chained to one discipline at a time. • Keep it global (BIG) • i.e. Diversity, Influences, Balance • Add to your framework with interest based project opportunities

  6. Project Based Learning • Real world problem solving • Creative Thinking • Critical Thinking • Higher Order Questioning • Analytical Reasoning • Cooperative and Collaborative Grouping • Improved Communication Skills • Intrinsic Gratification for Helping with World Problems

  7. “Makers” • “ Makers are typically driven by their curiosity for learning and creating new things, as well as by an interest in sharing their work and processes with others.” • AnnMarie Thomas in Engaging Students in the STEM Classroom through “Making”

  8. How to plug into the world of STEM • Maker Faires and Mini-Maker Faires • Project Based Learning • Type III Driven Instruction • Disney’s Imagineering • Real World Problem Solving

  9. Replicating Success:PBL

  10. Don’t Fret Yet • All activities do not and should not be projects. • Have realistic expectations. • You have a very limited time with your students-just do what you can.

  11. The Test of Time • Challenge Practice Ready Set Go

  12. Who Won the Lottery?

  13. What Now? • Quick tips for limited amounts of time- • Minute-to-win-it challenges • CPS for kids • Legos and other “construction” activities • i.e. kinex, marble run, architectural and design kits

  14. Exit Ticket • On your exit ticket, please tell how you feel about STEM now approaching it as a multidisciplinary idea as opposed to 4 disciplines. • How will you address STEM/ will you address STEM in your classroom after today?
