Session 7

Travis Owens, Nathan Smith 

The NYSTEEA Mentoring Program is publishing PD videos and there are monetary rewards for submissions! Come learn about how you can contribute to the mentoring and PD of others and possibly win $500 for your video submissions.  Particpants will learn the criteria, be able to view examples, and ask questions to set themselves up with the tools needed to make a successful video that will improve the technology education profession.

This session consists of a comprehensive, PreK-12 solution for Integrative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (I-STEM) - Engineering byDesign™ (EbD)™. Engineering byDesign™ (EbD)™ is built on the belief that the ingenuity of children is untapped, unrealized potential that, when properly motivated, will lead to the next generation of technologists, innovators, designers, and engineers. EbD™ offers the Premier Standards-Based Curriculum Model designed to be flexible, affordable, and accountable. The PreK-12 curriculum is based on the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy, as well as national standards for science and math, Common Core, and the NAE’s Grand Challenges for Engineering. This session will focus on grade bands including 9-12, and highlight our sequence of learning offered to all educational professionals in the secondary setting. We will be featuring Onshape Certification byDesign, AP Computer Science Principles byDesign, and our 9-12 High School Advanced Technology Education pathways.

Alice is used by teachers at all levels from middle schools (and sometimes even younger) to universities, in school classrooms and in after school and out of school programming, and in subjects ranging from visual arts and language arts to the fundamentals of programming and introduction to Java courses. Alice provides a simple drag-and-drop interface to help teach students the fundamentals of programming while working in a unique 3D virtual world. This workshop is designed to give teachers a basic understanding of the software and its interface, ideas on how to implement it with students and some time to actually “play”. Attendees will leave the workshop having gained some experience in programming and with their own short animation using Alice.

This is the CONTINUATION OF A DOUBLE LENGTH PRESENTATION that started in session 6.

Terry VanNoy   

With tessellations, students are using 3D design principles with math, art and the engineering design process. In this interactive session, we will go to the TinkerCad website and use basic tools to design shapes that can be copied and fit together like a puzzle. Once these pieces are created, you can export them and 3D print. Fun and engaging! 

This is the CONTINUATION OF A DOUBLE LENGTH PRESENTATION that started in session 6.

Tracy Young    

If you are an elementary educator and don’t know about the ITEEA Engineering by Design curriculum, join Tracy Young, STEAM Specialist, for a kindergarten through grade six “tour” with the opportunity for some hands-on engaged learning. Tracy will show you how the EBD program has flourished in her elementary school and how they use it in their state of the art STEAM Lab for over 500 students. You will also see some   pre-recorded examples of EBD presentations from her students at Benton Hall Academy as they present their Grand Challenges in their STEAM Lab.
