This session will begin with a brief presentation about real Engineering in the classroom and the use of Project Based Learning, Socratic Questioning, STEM, the RD&D Loop, and Productive Failure to teach students to research, think critically, problem solve, work with a team, communicate, create, manage time, test, evaluate and present. Then, attendees will participate in a hands-on activity in which they will build their own small rockets (with a little guidance from London H.S. students). Time and weather permitting, participants will go out to the beach to test the vehicles (launch the rockets) for post mission analysis.

Math is the gateway that opens up STEM opportunities. But for too many students it’s a barrier that closes off those opportunities. Lack of relevance and engagement is a key factor in the poor showings of many students. The C-STEM program is designed to boost student engagement and achievement by integrating hands-on coding, engineering design, and robotics into K-12 math and STEM education. For both at-promise and gifted students, the program has been shown to significantly increase standardized math test scores and close the achievement gap. Come to this session to learn more about implementing this innovative cross-curricular approach.

If you are an elementary or middle school educator looking for ways to incorporate the Engineering Design Process into your daily lesson plans, this is the session for you! Attendees will be actively engaged in hands-on, collaborative activities utilizing drones and robots appropriate for Grades 3-8. Participants will be provided an Engineering Design Process template based on a resource from TEA, and the template will be modeled during the session. STEM Skills, such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity will also be incorporated, and modeled, during the session.

Discover activities and lessons that align to the new Tech Apps TEKS which are required to be implemented by the '24-'25 school year. These activities integrate computational thinking, computer science, and cybersecurity into core curricula. And they introduce block-based coding and physical computing to scaffold learning with students. Leave with a wide array of valuable K-5 resources, encompassing ready-to-use, practical lessons plans with slides, activity sheets, rubrics, and all master materials that follow the 5E instructional model and seamlessly integrate technology.
