2020 Workshop Information
Teachers and students across the country are engaging with one another in new ways this school year, as virtual and hybrid education changes the classroom dynamic. While many subjects are easily adapted to an online learning model, STEM subjects require more creativity to keep students connected to subjects that traditionally rely on laboratory experimentation. In this session, AstraZeneca’s nonprofit partner, Learning Undefeated, showcases ways to keep students focused on STEM subjects including at-home science experiments, making connections to STEM careers, and finding inspiration in the every day.
Illumina is a global leader in genomics, designing and manufacturing instruments and systems for sequencing genomes and analyzing genetic information. What does this mean? It means we use information from DNA to help solve real world problems like cancer, genetic diseases, disease outbreaks and many more. Don't miss Illumina's new education programs and initiatives to provide middle and high teachers genomics-focused professional development, NGSS aligned labs and modules to bring back to their classroom, and industry connections – all with the goal of inspiring students to pursue careers in life science.
Many educators are challenged with finding a variety of resources for STEM Learning and Career Exploration. The programs presented in this workshop provide a variety of tools to expand content in these areas, and they are available online at no cost through partnerships between Discovery Education and leading corporations and community organizations. These standards-aligned resources include virtual field trips, video challenges, lesson plans, hands-on classroom activities, interactive modules and video career profiles, all delivered via digital media. This rich content features curated resources from Microsoft, Boeing, 3M, TGR Foundation and CITGO, just to name a few. During the workshop, we will explore a number of the resources in detail and participants will be exposed to Discovery Education teaching strategies to support implementation anywhere learning is taking place.
Explore opportunities to create a Thermo Fisher Scientific virtual engagement event for your students as we showcase our signature hands-on & digital STEM activities, research & manufacturing site tours, career panels, and more. This is a cross cutting concept 'career' event you won't want to miss!
