Barobo, Inc.

Superintendent Arellano, thank you for your leadership. We are excited to partner with San Bernardino City USD to transform K-12 math education through coding and robotics!

Day 3 of the #NCTMCHI2024 conference! Come stop by the Barobo, Inc. booth! We were just exploring some geometry concepts with loops and variables 😄 #math #matheducation #STEM #cs #robotics #barobo

Please join the workshop, “Getting Ready for the New California Math Framework,” at the 14th Annual C-STEM Pre-Conference organized by UC Davis Center for Integrated Computing and STEM Education (C-STEM) on October 3, 2024 at the UC Davis Conference Center (more info at https://lnkd.in/gj8S4Yum). The California State Board of Education approved a new Mathematics Framework (https://lnkd.in/g_hs3Em9) for K-8 education in July 2023 after a four-year process. The Framework provides strategies to challenge and support all students in deep and relevant math learning to ensure their success. Excellence and equity in math education will be achieved by organizing the curriculum around the investigation of big ideas in mathematics, grounded in rigorous existing state standards, with an emphasis on real-world applications and multidimensional teaching. In this workshop, Professor Harry Cheng from the University of California, Davis, will highlight the changes introduced by the new Framework and offer recommendations for district superintendents and leaders on how to best implement it. He will also discuss how to prepare teachers and staff for the upcoming transformations in math pedagogy and practice. Dr. Harry H. Cheng is a Professor in the UC Davis College of Engineering and Director of the UC Davis Center for Integrated Computing and STEM Education (C-STEM). For more than a decade, he has pioneered efforts to systematically integrate computing and robotics into formal math education from transitional kindergarten through 12th grade. Dr. Cheng has received the UC Davis Chancellor's Achievement Award for Diversity and Community, the UC Davis Chancellor's Innovator of the Year award, and the Distinguished Scholarly Public Service Award from the UC Davis Academic Senate.

UC Davis Center for Integrated Computing and STEM Education (C-STEM) is very pleased to announce that Mary Nicely, Chief Deputy Superintendent at the California Department of Education, will give a plenary lunch talk on “The State of Education in 2024” at the 14th Annual C-STEM Conference, to be held on October 4, 2024 at the UC Davis Conference Center (more info at https://lnkd.in/gj8S4Yum). She will talk about various initiatives being carried out by the California Department of Education, such as the new CA Math Framework, AI and CS in K-12 education, literacy in K-12 education, etc. She will also make time for a Q&A session with audience members. Ms. Nicely previously served as Deputy Superintendent for the Information and Technology Branch and Senior Advisor to State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, where she led the Superintendent’s Initiatives Office and focused on recruitment and retention of teachers of color, community schools, and educator housing and public/private partnerships with philanthropy and industry. 

The 14th Annual C-STEM Conference will be held on October 4th, 2024, at the UC Davis Conference Center. This year’s theme is “Accelerating Student Achievement in Math, CS & Engineering.” The conference provides a forum for district and school administrators, K-12 STEM teachers, and partners to share their vision, research findings, best practices, and experiences in transforming math education, with a particular focus on closing the achievement gap for at-promise students and English language learners. A group of educators will be recognized with C-STEM awards, and experienced C-STEM teachers will share their best practices, classroom tips, and experiences in transforming math education through hands-on coding and robotics in both formal and expanded learning settings. A half-day C-STEM Pre-Conference will be held on Thursday, October 3rd. Teachers, administrators, and counselors will have the opportunity to connect with UC Davis Undergraduate Admissions, the Early Academic Opportunity Program (EAOP), and College of Engineering directors to learn about the resources and opportunities available to their students. C-STEM/STEAM integrated education workshops and tours of College of Engineering labs and the UC Davis campus will be offered. In the evening, a Networking Reception will allow all participants to connect and share ideas. More info about the conference and early bird registration by 9/4/2024 can be found  at https://lnkd.in/gj8S4Yum

Congratulations to Orange USD on a successful C-STEM professional development! Get ready to integrate coding and robotics into your classroom teaching. The RoboPlay Competition was a fantastic experience!
