A STEM class differs from a traditional science classroom by shifting from teacher-led instruction to project-based learning. Students gain independence, confidence, critical thinking, and practical skills by researching and solving problems in teams. In this lecture I will discuss my experience with starting an engineering program at my school, and the successes and challenges I have faced.

1) Why is STEM education important? 2) What makes a STEM class successful? 3) How can I start a STEM program at my school?

 We live in a fast-paced, technology driven world  STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) related occupations are more in demand and pay higher than many other fields  Traditional science classes can provide students with background content, but rarely have time to focus on skills (very test driven)  Additional STEM classes can teach skills and critical thinking necessary to solve real world problems

 Critical thinking  Problem solving  Teamwork  Project-based learning  Technology in the classroom

 Funding & Materials  Teacher Training & Professional Development  Student recruitment  Technical support  PR and Student exhibitions

 Inventory your current lab supplies  Create a wish list of materials needed  Submit budget proposal to administration  If current science budget cannot cover it, look for grants and outside funding

 Computers and internet!  Basic electronic kits  Microcontrollers  Robotics  Soldering equipment  Tools  If you have limited funding, don’t panic, recyclables make excellent projects!

Lego EV3 - $350 4 wheel chassis - $25 Make your own!

 Enthusiasm counts!  Get advice from experienced teachers  Go to summer training and obtain ongoing professional development  Ex. Mathbotix in Irvine – Teacher workshops  Ex. Carnegie Mellon – Robotics Academy  Ex. Community college class on programming

 How selective do you want to be?  Student applications & entrance exams  Behavioral or academic contracts  Use students to recruit other students  Recruiting girls

 Ask experts in your community to help you  Look for parent volunteers or older siblings  Look for grad students from UC schools

 Show off your student projects!  Newsletters, newspapers and magazine articles  Invite community to an exhibition or science fair hosted by your school  Ex.
