American University | DMTI Building | 9 am - 12 pm
Teaching takes a toll on our bodies. Join STEMteachersDMV, American University, and Work Life Wellness for a free Halloween morning workshop to help you laugh, learn, and recover.
Start with improv games you can bring straight to your classroom, led by Elissa Levy. Then physical therapist Dr. Drea Osborne will explain the science behind tight muscles and stress, guide you through a stretch and mobility flow you can do every day at school, and close with a stress-relieving breathing exercise. Every participant takes home a lacrosse ball for continued tension relief.
Breakfast is provided, and certificates of participation are available. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat if you have one (spares available).
Free, but space is limited. Register now!
American University | DMTI Building | 9 am - 12 pm
Join us for a free workshop and breakfast, as you learn about the scientific, technological, and economic opportunities and impacts of the chip industries (semiconductor manufacturing and data center operations) that relate to the grades 7-12 physical science content you already teach.
Engage with multiple chip industry-contextualized lessons for teaching concepts related to electricity, heat, and waves and optics. Use simple materials, including easy-to-access and low-cost electronics, digital media, and PhET simulations. Learn how to seek more information, including through the project’s upcoming TCHIP Fellowship opportunity, extended Teaching Science for the Chip Industry course, and Northern Virginia Community College's Engineering Technology programs.
