STEM: Strategies That Engage Minds

Posted on 07:12 by Unknown
When you hear or think about STEM, what comes to mind?
Is it just Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math?
Or is it something more?
What are the connections between those topics?
Is there anything that you do that does not involve one of those areas?
I heard a new meaning for the letters in STEM yesterday from Cindy Moss:
Strategies That Engage Minds
Here are 5 STEM Resources to explore:
  • Engineering is Elementary
  • Connect A Million Minds
  • Edible Schoolyard Project
  • Academy of Achievement
  • Gooru: A Search Engine for Learning
What resources and ideas did you learn about and/or share yesterday?
