AIAA Educator Academy Gar Bering, Lisa Bacon With Elana Slagle, Tom Milnes, Paul Wiedorn, Ben Longmier, Liz Henriquez

Effectively inspire K-12 students to pursue STEM careers Engage our Educator Associates with AIAA members The Problem

Use a series of Curriculum Modules that will teach engineering-related concepts in fields such as aeronautics, astronautics and robotics (STEM) This regional program will increase interaction among Educator Associates, AIAA Professional Members, K-12 students, and the local community The Solution

Objective The major operational objective is to plant the 3 curriculum modules in multiple schools and districts in at least 6 Sections 4

Regions and Sections The Layers Educator Associates and Section Mentors impacting thousands of Students

Use 2 existing Curriculum Modules (Mars Rover, Cargo Planes) and develop 1 new Module (Space Weather Balloon) Promote these Modules to K-12 Educator Associates through workshops Leverage appropriate Technical Committees as Section Mentors to support Educator Associates and interact with student inquiry Use the Region/Sections model to bring involved parties together for competitions The Plan

Tools Local and Regional Competitions aka Capstone Events Run by the Host Sections Teacher Training Workshops Initially run by Institute instructors Capstone Organizer Workshops Train the Trainers Workshops Eventually, Sections are expected to run it all 7

MARS ROVER MODEL CELEBRATION The most mature module 8

What is Mars Rover Celebration? A six week inquiry based science curriculum for grades 3-8. Teams select a specific science mission on Mars. 15 5E Lesson Plans. All Lessons feature an Essential Question Standards Aligned Key Words and Reading Strategy

What is Mars Rover Celebration? Students meet Earth and Space Science, Physics, and Chemistry objectives through study of Mars Students will learn state of the art research skills. Structured 5E inquiry based learning used throughout the curriculum. Lessons make extensive use of current NASA data and images.

Capstone Event Share rovers and creative ideas for future exploration. Encourage probing questions from the audience. Evaluate rovers and related presentations based on established criteria.

TETHERED ELECTRIC CARGO PLANE The 2 nd Module is taught regularly. We are still writing the lesson plans, etc. 12

Tethered Electric Cargo Plane Exposes students to Aerospace Engineering Students study how to make things fly. Indoor setting No expensive Radio Control equipment A capstone event where the students compete to see which student or student team can lift the most cargo can be added. 13

Tethered Flight Concept Constrained Flight Path - Can be done Indoors - Expensive RC Equipment not needed Power Pole Tether Power Supply Flat Speaker Wire Clear Packing Tape

Electric Cargo Plane Challenge Must complete one lap of tethered flight with and without cargo about the power pole Plane must be 8 off the ground at all times Scoring MESAMEC Oral30 Written55 20 Design40 20 Performance Most Weight 50 - Next Most … 3030 x Cargo/Best Cargo TOTAL180100

SPACE WEATHER BALLOONS Project Aether: Aurora A precursor/test of concept for the new 3rd Module 16

What we want to do Send HD cameras up to the edge of the aurora borealis on our specially designed high altitude weather balloon platforms. Would like to perform launches beneath the aurora Fairbanks, Alaska Feb 2012 to Apr 2012 timeframe 14 day trip Take simultaneous video/photo data from 0km (ground), 30km (balloon), and 400km (ISS) altitudes. Increase the technology readiness level of several ambient gas instruments in a relevant environment. Will take advantage of low-cost off-the-shelf equipment to perform science work within the plasma environment of the aurora. The conditions at altitude will be 10 Torr (near vacuum) Low temperature (-80 C) Radiation from aurora and cosmic rays Taken from the International Space Station Taken from the Space Shuttle Measured Auroral activity, Fall 2010 Taken from the ground, Alaska Taken from the International Space Station

Arctic Circle We have identified Fairbanks, Alaska as the ideal launch point due latitude, weather, travel costs and logistics, launch locations, and recovery locations Launch and Recovery: Fairbanks, Alaska Zone of typical Aurora activity Fairbanks, Alaska Magnetic North Pole

Education 2 teachers will blog daily from Fairbanks Daily contact with students via Skype / Google+ Curriculum Development for Grades K-12 Interdisciplinary units aligned to content standards STEM, Art, Social Studies Collaboration of teachers involved with the Progressive Science Initiative Multi-state and International (Japan, Argentina) Project Aether: Education website development ( Student developed science experiments to be launched on payload platforms Prototype testing for Space Weather Balloon module

Educator Academy Progress IDC funded in July 2012 (currently in second year of funding) Three branded curriculum modules have been created Branded supplemental materials created Professional publications presented at Fall AGU (4)

Educator Academy Progress First Year Plan: Implement Workshops in Targeted Sections Rocky Mountain Section Held two AIAA Educator Academies (Mars Rover Curriculum Modules) Dayton- Cincinnati Section Held an AIAA Educator Academy (Electric Cargo Plane) Northwest Florida Section Held an AIAA Educator Academy (Electric Cargo Plane) First Year Workshops successfully Completed

Educator Academy Progress Second Year Plans: Select 2013 Educator Academy sections/sites Work with local sections on additional local training Train the Trainer training for local sections Planning a Capstone Event training for local sections Budget FY12FY13FY14 Budget$ 40,000$ 30,000 Expenses 10,267 Variance(29,733)

Recommendations for FY14 In FY14, Educator Academy will be in its last year of IDC funding Continue to develop and monitor the program Report back to IDC in FY14 with progress and recommendation

Problems Misconceptions Teacher training workshops are NOT the purpose of the Academy. Implanting entire curricula is. The modules are NOT buffets that can be sampled. They are complete pedagogically coherent curricula. The modules do NOT have ad hoc titles that Sections may edit at will. They have specific titles. 25

Problems Getting Section by-in to the full program The capstone event is a necessary component The capstone is the Sections responsibility Curricula do not get taught in their entirety without a capstone to motivate teachers to do so The promise of long-term continuity is also essential We have had trouble getting Sections to grasp the need fully and accept the responsibility 26

Long Term Challenge Solve the population density vs member density problem. Branded curricula in schools offer AIAA impact without the need for lots of professional member involvement Key unresolved challenge is developing a way to offer and organize capstones far from our major member concentrations 27

Recommendations Stop trying to recruit Sections via a purely top- down process – allow for volunteers Start wide publicity and solicitation NOW Engage the entire Section Council in the discussions with the instructors from the start. We are way under budget. We can afford to teach a miniworkshop to each candidate Section Council (and selected EAs) for recruiting. Need to engage appropriate TCs in mentoring 28
