Abstract for the conference program
STEM in the Special Education and Gifted classrooms is guided through teacher lead instruction and challenges. A student lead STEM design challenge using technology applications, gives the student superhero controls. Learn how using multiple applications gives both gifted and special education students the designing power behind their own design ideas. The presentation is showing how a classroom of students can use the Engineering Design Process to create their own project challenge. Students can take their plans and create digital presentations of their designs for others to follow. In a classroom with limited technology, this project gives students the opportunity to work in a flipped classroom format. During the presentation, the audience will see how to flip the Engineering Design Process for students to critically think and use higher order thinking skills in their design. The audience will see student work and other technology used by special education and gifted students.
