STEM projects are an exciting, efficient and engaging way of addressing subject content, the skills of project-based learning and most of the General Capabilities. Join AISWA and CEWA teachers and school leaders for a whole day iSTEM immersion. This is an opportunity for early years, primary and middle school teachers to share teaching strategies, resources and snapshots of great classroom projects. We are also going to share assessment/grading ideas. Network over morning tea and lunch (both included) and build your PLNs during activity sessions.
SHORT KEYNOTE:
"STEM - Beyond the Acronym"
AM: MINI HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
