  1. Welcome!

  2. STEM Teacher Leader Program SeriesWorkshop 1 Facilitators: Deb Dempsey, M.Ed. And Carolyn DeCristofano, M.Ed. Blue Heron Educational Consulting Services, Inc.

  3. Opening Prayer

  4. Framing the Experience: GoalsBy the end of today’s program you will be able to : • Understand the Diocese’s vision for this project and our resource role. • Prepare and try out a design challenge in your classroom. • Recognize the features of a design challenge. • Begin to shape your understanding of how the different STEM content areas relate (in real and life and in the classroom).

  5. Framing the Experience: The Project

  6. Framing the Experience:The People

  7. Framing the Experience: The People Quick Poll

  8. Technology Match Game You have been given a card with either a problem on it or a technology on it. 1. Find your match: technology and the problem it is meant to solve or address. 2. Together, suggest a different problem that the tech could solve or a different technology for the problem. 3. Find out something about your partner.

  9. Common Starting Points

  10. Technology Anything created by people to solve a problem or meet a need (or desire). • “Thing” = object, process, system • Everyday – not just electronics or cutting edge • The result of human creativity

  11. Technology Refresher In your STEM notebook, list the technologies that you have used since you woke up this morning. (If you cannot get to them all, list as many as you can.) You have 2 minutes.

  12. Technology Refresher Exchange and share your list at your table: • Check into the variety of technologies that get the same job done. • For example, everyone in your group may have used an alarm clock. Are they designed to work the same way? • Of the electronic technologies you have used today, which ones have predecessors or alternatives that are not electronic?

  13. Engineers solve problems

  14. STEM Notebook:Jot down your ideas about the following areas and how they are alike and different from each other. What relationships, if any, do you see among them?sciencetechnologyengineeringmath

  15. Integrating STEM

  16. Overview: Two Approaches Engineering as a culmination Engineering as a launch

  17. The Problem • Science explorers need to get cargo to 3 islands. • Treacherous waters!

  18. The Challenge Design an air ferry system to get the cargo to its destination(s).

  19. ASK, Define, Research Materials Exploration to stimulate more questions

  20. ASK, Define, Research Go for it! (wrap up by 12:00)

  21. Lunch Break! Be ready to go again at 12:30

  22. Share the Results! …and ask more questions! (Connecting to Inquiry)

  23. Engineering Design Process: Two Frameworks The Engineering is Elementary model:

  24. A second model (MA)

  25. Reflect on the Process Refer to the engineering design process diagram(s). As a team, choose one to work with. Identify a few steps that you engaged in as you were trying to solve your problem. Why were these steps important to seeking a solution to the problem?

  26. Reflect on the Process Whole Group: Comments, questions, observations about the design process?

  27. With the design challenge in mind, update your STEM notebook: 1. Capture your thoughts about the how science, engineering, math, and technology were embedded in your efforts to solve the problem. How did this experience shed light on the similarities, differences, and relationships among STEM fields?

  28. Break – Return to Grade Span Groups

  29. Grade Level Span Groups: Adapting this challenge to our own curriculum.

  30. What Makes a Design Challenge a Design Challenge? (Some of our thoughts.) Problem to solve with a technological solution. Criteria Constraints Opportunities for authentic decision-making Built-in tradeoffs

  31. Looking Ahead: Implementing in Your Classroom What aspects of this design challenge are important for you to keep? Why? What aspects do you want or need to adapt? Why do you feel you need to adapt them? Questions on your mind?

  32. Generating Ideas for Adapting& Implementing Teams: What are your current thoughts about how you would modify this design challenge for your particular group of students? Write each idea on a sheet of construction paper. Now consider: What do you see as possible connections to your grade level’s math and science? Jot down each possible connection on a sheet of construction paper.
