6. Reflect on the following
STEM education is………………… A STEM program………………..

7. A common definition is…
STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world lessons as students apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work, and the global enterprise enabling the development of STEM literacy and with it the ability to compete in the new economy. (Tsupros, 2009)

8. How do you define STEM in your classroom?

9. PBL and STEM?
What is the connection?

10. Invention Cards Discuss what problem the inventor was trying to solve?
Make sure that every table has a card ask teachers to discuss what problem or perceived problem was noted by the inventor that prompted him/ her to invent the product in your picture.

19. So What is Project Based Learning?
PBL is the act of learning through identifying a real-world problem and developing its solution. Kids show what they learn as they journey through the unit, not just at the end.“
-Edutopia
This is what we call the elevator speech of the definition. Keep in mind that this is the 50 minute version of the PBL 101. therefore, we are keeping it incredibly simple. If yopu register for out full day of PBL 101 then we will take you through a more in depth description and exploration of PBL.
Our Next PBL 101 is scheduled for September 23rd

Complete the stem on a sticky
Were there similarities in answers? Differences? Surprises?

26. Airplane Activity Find a partner, and choose one piece of paper.
In teams of 2, discuss things that we could test our plane for
Considering standard(s) alignment, suggested time for completion, and available materials.
Complete the PBL Planner with you team mate
This statement will serve as the driving question.
During this time the teachers will complete their
PBL planner with a timer up because you want to allow sufficient time for testing their plane.

27. Design Parameters….what are the rules?
You can only use the paper
Examples:
How high can it go?
How long can it stay in the air?
How straight can it fly?
How far can it go?
How accurate can it land?
How many loops can it perform?
Others?
