STEM Teacher Summit
July 12, 2024
Ekuwah's Session Description:
STEM identities are formed by the variety of stories and the meaningful experiences we make accessible to children and families. Students naturally look for relevance, relationships, and representation before engaging at the highest level. Educators must be intentional about visibly and explicitly including student interests within open-ended engineering design challenges. This session includes books, videos, and examples from a K-5th grade engineering classroom.
