By: Reagan Flowers, PhD If youve been following us, youve likely noticed that we discuss high-quality STEM learning experiences. And for good reason. The long-term learning gaps created by COVID-19 school closures, a rapidly shifting job market, and funding cuts in the current climate make access to STEM education more essential than ever. STEM is not just for future scientists, mathematicians, or engineersits for everyone.

This month, we’d like to highlight the contributions of Black innovators who have shaped our world. One of my favorite stories to share is that of Lonnie Johnson an engineer whose curiosity and creativity led to the invention of the Super Soaker. His journey is a perfect example of how STEM skills, problem-solving, and a little bit of fun can lead to something amazing.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

One of my favorite ways to kick off the “Evidence of Evolution” topic is with a hands-on activity that gets students thinking about embryology. This quick and engaging task helps them spot patterns in how different species develop before birth, setting up a great discussion about evolution. Be sure to grab this activity at the bottom of the post!
