Adding monthly giving projects to STEM classes helps students learn important skills like problem-solving and teamwork while also teaching them to care about their communities. For example, my class once built a website to raise funds for a local animal shelter, which taught us web development and the value of helping others. Sound interesting? The Ask a Tech Teacher team has ideas on how to incorporate giving into your STEM curriculum: Incorporating Monthly Giving Projects into STEM Curriculum:

Child care concerns have reached a boiling point for parents and providers, and it’s become increasingly difficult for families to afford essentials like health care and housing. Those are among the top findings outlined in a special anniversary report from the RAPID Survey Project at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, which highlights data from a survey that asked caregivers of young children what they want their policymakers to know about how they are doing and what they need.

Post by Kristina Klammer Posted: July 1, 2024 Have you ever wanted to own a zoo? With this STEM challenge, you and your students can! In this challenge, teachers and students take on the mission of designing a zoo for the public. Each student chooses an animal to research and to become an expert in. Through engaging in-class discussions and completing introductory research, they will investigate the pros and cons of wild and captive living for animals and the many varied needs that animals have.

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.

Every building you spend time in––schools, libraries, houses, apartment complexes, movie theaters, and even your favorite ice cream shop––is the product of mathematical principles applied to design and construction. Have you ever wondered how building professionals incorporate math to create the common structures you walk in and out of every day? What is Architecture?

According to the Department of Labor, over 65 percent of students will grow up and fill jobs that do not exist yet. This striking statistic speaks to the changing workforce landscape and the imperative need for educators and parents to pivot teaching and learning approaches to meet these new needs. One way to prepare students for success in their education and future careers is through early exposure to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities.

Post by Kristina Klammer Posted: June 17, 2024 Why do earthquakes happen? How can we protect people and buildings during an earthquake? These are just some of the questions students explore in the Earthquake 5E STEM challenge. In this challenge, students learn about earthquakes and how engineers design structures to be earthquake-resistant. Students work in groups to design their own earthquake-resistant structures that they can then test systematically to meet certain criteria.
