Zeta Charter Schools’ Post

Think FIRST is just about building robots? Think again. 💡 We feel like our newest initiative in California was another proof point. We're thrilled to share the success of our inaugural FIRST For All Fellowship - a program that's cultivating so much more than technical skills. ➔ In its very first year, this fellowship challenged high school students to become champions of diversity and inclusion in STEM - on their teams and their community. We were blown away by how wholeheartedly our students embraced this new opportunity, diving deep into topics like unconscious bias and inclusive leadership. Their enthusiasm and dedication showed us that FIRST participants are ready and eager to tackle the important issues beyond the robot field. ⚡️ This fellowship is a humble reminder that in FIRST, we're not just engineering machines; we're nurturing tomorrow's changemakers. Curious to see how our students rose to the challenge? Check out our blog post to learn more about this exciting new program and its impact. ⭐️ https://lnkd.in/gEGydqiw Because in FIRST, we're 100% more than robots – we're building a more inclusive future, one student at a time. #FIRSTinCA #omgrobots #morethanrobots #STEM #womeninstem #girlinstem #FIRSTisforeveryone #STEMisforeveryone #STEM

🚀 Hackathon Highlight! 🚀 Thrilled to share my recent experience participating in a joint hackathon hosted by Metropolitan State University of Denver and University of Denver - Ritchie School of Engineering & Computer Science. The theme of the challenge: "Enhance Campus". Together with my fantastic team, we developed a 📚 Study Scheduler Recommendation Engine 📚. This innovative tool prioritizes individual assignments based on their grade weights and the remaining time to their due dates, ensuring students can manage their study hours most efficiently. Key features of our solution: 1. Dynamic Allocation: Automatically adjust study hours as assignments get completed or when new ones are added. 2. Weighted Prioritization: Focuses on high-grade weight assignments without neglecting those with nearer due dates. 3. User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-navigate for all students, ensuring a seamless scheduling experience. Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with bright minds and leverage technology to enhance student productivity!

This April, we continue to celebrate the marvels of STEM! 🤓 Dive into the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with us. 🧠💡 Every day is an opportunity to discover and innovate. 🚀 . . . . . #studentnest #nestingsuccess #onlineeducation #onlinelearning #tutoringservices #lovelearning #educationmatters #expandyourknowledge

It’s YOUR time to #EdUp In this episode, brought to YOU by Jenzabar’s Annual Meeting (⁠JAM 2024⁠), YOUR guest is ⁠Scott Dow, Board Member, LA Semiconductor & President, Heroic Game Day YOUR cohost is Dr. Joe Sallustio, EdD How can immersive virtual environments that simulate real-world experiences like building computer chips or managing a farm inspire students to explore careers in high-demand fields? What role can institutions of higher education play in supporting a cradle-to-career pipeline that cultivates the next generation of innovators, starting from the earliest grades? With 70% of semiconductor industry jobs not requiring a college degree, how can Heroic Game Day connect underemployed parents to upskilling opportunities & well-paying careers? How is Heroic Game Day partnering with industry leaders like LA Semiconductor to get elementary school students excited about STEM through game-based learning? What skills do today's K-6 students need to thrive in a future shaped by artificial intelligence, & how does Heroic Game Day's platform help develop critical competencies like resilience, communication, & problem-solving? As the U.S. faces a projected shortage of up to 1 million tech workers in the next decade, what lessons can be learned from Heroic Game Day's approach to engaging & preparing future talent? #EdUp here: https://lnkd.in/gQRR7ykJ We make education YOUR business!

Your Friday is about to get a whole lot happier! 😎 We couldn't be more thrilled to have launched our brand new 2023-24 arts-inspired #CENTERSTAGE season that shines a big bright spotlight on the role that #STEM plays in the arts🔦 With over 157 teams so far filled with the talent of tomorrow, 13 incredible Champion Organisation's hosting 13 epic Qualifying Tournaments, we’re ready to go full STEAM ahead💨 We can't wait to witness our new teams paint their blank canvases with their newly discovered technical and soft skills developed overtime as they lead their own educational journey, and our returning teams perfectly sculpt their pre-existing strategies to elevate their craft and prosper in this new season🖌 Critical to driving these results are industry role model encounters. We’re fortunate to partner with some of the most pioneering and forward-thinking industry heads of the world, willing to donate their time, energy and talent simply because they too, see and believe in the value of investing in the STEM futures of young people. Through this #impactvolunteering, young people are able to fully grasp the possibilities of STEM whilst learning to think, collaborate and operate like innovators so that they’re fit to thrive in industry 🤝 Thank you all for allowing our young people to see their STEM future is as achievable and as exciting as yours💫 XTX Markets, Arm, Raytheon UK, Collins Aerospace Here’s a short film that captures the art of using robots, industry role models and epic competitions to build #MoreThanRobots. https://lnkd.in/eUbiSyYM

Hey connections! 🚀 Just had to share the incredible journey of my first hackathon at Reva University with all of you. 🌟 👩💻 So, guess what kept us buzzing for 48 hours straight? We took on the challenge of building a Machine Learning model to detect Autism Spectrum Disorder in the little ones—ages 0-5. Because, why not use technology to make a real impact, right? 🤝 Big shoutout to my amazing team! The energy and ideas that flowed through our collaboration were simply mind-blowing. Team power all the way! 💡 You won't believe the coding rollercoaster we rode! From midnight debugging sessions to fine-tuning our ML algorithms, every moment was a step forward in our innovation journey. 🎓 Personally, I got deep into the world of machine learning, picking up insights that go beyond the usual textbooks. It's not just about code; it's about the creative problem-solving mindset that makes a true hacker. 🙏 Huge thanks to Reva University for hosting such an electric event. The atmosphere was buzzing with innovation, and the support we received made all the difference. 🌐 #revauniversity #hackathon #innovationjourney #techforgood

During Computer Science Education Week, I think it's important to talk about how ANY student, anywhere, any age can learn to code, harness AI, and develop digital skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives. Young learners don't have preconceived notions about who can code or who is "good" at technology. When you embed skill-building into fun lessons, kids embrace it all. For inspiration, see the six winners (from multiple countries) of the Educator Challenge 2023 talk about award-winning lessons they created. Those include: • Storytelling About Internet Safety Using Scratch Code • 3D Design & Repair • Robot Geometry • Coding About Photosynthesis • Designing a 3D Volcano Model • Catapult Toss (Force & Motion) See the video with the teachers talking about their lessons here: https://lnkd.in/gHaYCJ3N Learn more about the contest and winners: https://lnkd.in/gMTVsg9p Note: this contest was run by the STEM Alliance Aotearoa & European Schoolnet and sponsored by Intel Corporation. #CSEdWeek #IntelSFI #IntelEDU #IamIntel #CodingforKids #STEMeducation
