Abstract for the conference program
As elementary schools in our area struggle to make the transformation from teaching the state mandated standards to STEM, we've transformed not only what happens during the school day, but during after school activities as well. We'd like to share the steps in this transformation with you through hands on tasks, building School-wide Science Olympiad Days, and starting a Sea Perch Robotics after school program. We will be sharing the steps we took to build these programs from the Genesis of an idea, to full implementation, including how we funded these initiatives. Our presentation includes examples of hands on tasks, as well as organizational materials we used to provide school-wide in-service for teachers, video clips from school-wide STEM Days, and instructional materials and video clips from the construction of Sea Perch Robots.
