Session description

To prepare for the future, students need to develop skills in STEM-related fields. However, there are either real or perceived barriers to providing these opportunities for students. As educators, we need resources that enable us to spark curiosity for learning and lead students to become creators and innovators.

Purpose & objective

Preparing students for the future demands a culture of learning that ignites curiosity and innovation. This session emphasizes the importance of bringing STEM to every classroom and provides the resources to make that possible. With a projected 58 million STEM-related job opportunities expected by 2025, we need to create more STEM-related learning opportunities within all classrooms.

During this session, participants will explore STEM Challenges, Robots and STEM Tools, and Emerging Technologies including AR/VR and AI. The objective is to explore methods and tools that will empower educators to offer their students opportunities in STEM while simultaneously nurturing essential SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) skills.

For some educators, knowing where to begin with STEM brings some uncertainty as there are many possibilities, and depending on the choice, they may require a specific knowledge, skill set, or resources. However, regardless of grade level or subject area, there are many ways for teachers to bring STEM into their classrooms, some of which require very little preparation.

Through engaging STEM activities, we will help students to develop essential skills such as Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Creativity.  We'll explore how these STEM activities can be integrated with any curriculum content.
