Description
A great instant solution for INTEGRATED STEM, based on DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES and DESIGN & TECHNOLOGIES.
The STEM in Practice one day workshop is a must for schools wishing to learn more about the program or hire the program equipment from AISWA.
**BONUS OFFER - The cost of the workshop includes a free kit to take home with you!! **
Developed through government funded industry-education collaboration between AISWA and KodeKLIX®, the program materials address a host of Australian Curriculum/WA Curriculum requirements in science, technology and maths subjects. Other interdisciplinary links provide further learning opportunities.
The STEM in Practice materials provide teachers with everything they need to start teaching electronics and coding. Included in the educationally sound support materials are structured and open-ended activities, tips and curriculum insights for teachers and a student workbook for reflecting on concepts presented. The optional extension kit (used with the extension activity book) empowers capable students to develop design solutions using a range of sophisticated electronics components.
Designed specifically to facilitate student learning, the STEM in Practice activities are designed to be collaborative, student-managed and focused on developing solutions for real-life scenarios. Students embrace engineering principles derived from applying the Engineering Design Process (technology process). The STEM in Practice materials encourage active, challenge-based problem-solving.
The one day STEM in Practice workshop will cover the following key areas of the program:
- Curriculum Overview
- Exploring STEM in Practice edu support materials.
- Exploring electronics and coding with KodeKlix and Student Activities
- Coding with KodeKlix: An introduction to block coding and Blockly
- How to setup Blockly for the SnapCPU
- Create programs in Blockly
- Inputs, Outputs
- Loops, delays
- Procedures
- Motors
- What STEM projects could be developed using the STEM in Practice materials?
- Review sample STEM in Practice protoype challenges.
