STEM Greenhouse’s Post

⚙️STEM @ CCHS means many things, but most of all it means using your imagination, creativity and innovation to make the world a better place! 🧑🏽🔬Led by Dr. An Nguyen, STEM Research Mentor, our students' research projects speak to both individual passions and global improvements. They are combining science, engineering, art, math, and of course technology, to find new and innovative solutions to a diverse set of problems. 📽️Take a minute and find out more about our 23-24 STEM Mentees and their incredible research: 🔗https://loom.ly/WrVGf18

"I'm not a science person" I've heard that reaction so many times from adults after sharing I have a PhD in chemistry. But it stings differently and more impactfully, when it comes from a student. From a kid who hides behind that identity as a protection mechanism, thinking it will lower my expectations of them, to a kid using it as an excuse to "check out." Or a kid who just is not that interested in the content because their passion is in drama, or political science, or poetry, or fine arts, or.... I've found that when a student takes on that as part of their identity, it is rooted in not having experienced science yet. The true experience of developing an experiment you care about, the struggle of carrying it out, gathering data, and the satisfaction of answering your question. Because the truth is, we should all have a part of our identity rooted in the scientific method. The curiosity and creativity, the perseverance, the skepticism, the methodical approach, the critical thinking and problem solving, the project management... We need more STEM research experiences, earlier, and often! So when I read this report, I found it to be so valuable, so validating, as someone who has dedicated their career to STEM research education. And this part stood out to me: "Of all the arguments supporting increased investment in STEM education R&D to solve our current STEM crisis – tepid federal spending, ominously powerful inventions, and the dearth of talent for advancing and managing those inventions – a fourth argument eclipses each of them: STEM education improves the lives of individuals irrespective of their occupation. And in so doing, STEM education improves communities and the country at large. Learners fortunate to enjoy quality STEM education develop creativity through imaginative design, interpretation, and representation of investigations. The tools they use strengthen technology literacy. The mode of discovery is highly social, honing communication and cooperation skills. With no sage-on-the-stage they develop independence of thought. Failure happens, forging perseverance and resilience in its wake. Asking and answering questions nurtures curiosity. Defending and refuting ideas cultivates critical thinking, Truth and facts are evidence-based yet always tentative. Empathy is cultivated through alternative interpretations or points of view. And confidence to pursue STEM as a career comes from doing STEM. The prospect of an entire population of Americans thus equipped is the most compelling case for strategically increased R&D investment in STEM education." Every student should have STEM experiences that make them feel like a science kid, even if its not their career choice. Stay tuned! We at STEMbridge Consulting are developing new core offerings and are undergoing a website revamp. Can't WAIT to share what we've been working on as we try to ensure all students are having valuable STEM research experiences, early and often.

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Associate Professor, Vinesh Chandra, a stalwart of STEM Education leadership at QUT (Queensland University of Technology). Our conversation touched many points, but the core theme always linked back to the role of human connection in education. A powerful way to start the week! STEM Punks

Meet Helin, one of this year’s honorees at #STEMSigningDay, presented by Boeing. Along with the other 2024 honorees, Helin signed a letter of commitment to pursue STEM after high school. This fall, she will attend her dream school Princeton University to study operations research and financial engineering or computer science. 💡🌟Read more about Helin and her story in The Seattle Times: https://lnkd.in/gZyY2nUz

Calling all Educators! Albertus Magnus College is holding a virtual information session on July 10 for those interested in our Master's of Science in STEM Education Program. I cannot stress enough that STEM is more than the acronym. It is GOOD teaching-- a pedagogical tool that provides access, inclusion, and equity through experiential, trans-disciplinary learning. STEM can and should be integrated into all classrooms, and it is easier to do than some of us think! Our program is geared toward just that. In 11 months, you will earn 30 credits, learn practical ways to incorporate STEM across subject areas, learn grant-writing and leadership skills, and if you so choose, become prepared to pass the Praxis II in Technology Education for the 047 cross-endorsement. New Haven Public Schools is funding a portion of tuition for New Haven teachers. Teachers from any alliance district receive 15% off tuition. Register to learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eumZvW7N
