STEM Educator Wellness Conference

We are excited to announce the Biogen Scholars Program, which will allow 50 K-12 teachers to attend the virtual Bridging the Gap STEM Educator Wellness Reboot on January 31, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at no cost.

The Biogen Scholars Program is open to all K-12 teachers in North Carolina and the nation. Because all 2022 Bridging the Gap attendees automatically are registered to attend the virtual STEM Educator Wellness Reboot for free, they are not eligible for the Biogen Scholars Program.

This day-long virtual conference will feature keynotes and small group interactive sessions to carry K-16 educators into the New Year and through the second semester with all that is needed to stay healthy and motivated. The goal of this program is to provide STEM educators with research-based information and take-aways to promote physical and mental health and well-being. The majority of this conference will be recorded for viewing afterwards.

Coding in Minecraft

‘Coding in Minecraft’ is a computer science credential program with supporting curriculum for Grades 6-8 aligned to the NC Computer Science Standards and delivered through Minecraft: Education Edition.

And it is FREE for all North Carolina middle school teachers.

‘Coding in Minecraft’ in the STEM classroom will:

• Create engaging, enrichment activities.

• Allow students to experience real-world examples of how STEM is used in Computer Science.

• Allow for student-led, fast finisher activities that keep all students engaged.

• Develop important skills such as problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking.

‘Coding in Minecraft’ is an easy to teach solution enabling educators with little or no computer science or coding experience to deliver an up-to-date computer science curriculum. The comprehensive solution includes curriculum, Minecraft Worlds, assessments, micro-credentials, capstone exam and educator resources. 

The curriculum is student-led! As students can learn at their own pace, submit their evidence to an online portal for educators to assess and use Minecraft: Education Edition at their own pace.
