STEAM Designs: Real-Life Problem Solving

Participants will learn to implement real-life problem-solving STEAM units regardless of experience level, covering topic selection, the Engineering Design Process, and immersive experiences with four real-life topics, departing with comprehensive lesson plans and the skills to create impactful units for their classrooms.

This is the second workshop in our STEM/STEAM Design series. This workshop is for anyone who wants to implement a STEAM unit, whether you are a seasoned STEAM instructor or just starting out. The workshop begins with an overview of how and why we construct real-life problem-solving units and an explanation of the Engineering Design Process. Next, participants will experience four real-life topics: oil spills, earthquake resistant buildings, access to water, and overcrowded schools. For each topic, participants will explore specific aspects of STEAM designs, such as how to select topics, the 5E inquiry model, identifying the best STEM materials, and connecting to the students’ life experiences. Participants will receive all of the lesson plans covered in the workshop and leave with a solid understanding of how to create real-life problem-solving STEAM units for their classrooms.
