STEM Educator Workshop

This full-day, learner-driven workshop introduces you to the concepts of engineering and computer science and prepares you to facilitate YES and EiE units with your students. You will experience a full unit as a learner, then reflect on curriculum structure, pedagogy, and instructional strategies from an educator’s perspective.

You will leave this workshop:

• Prepared to teach a YES and EiE unit with your learners.
• Familiar with the benefits of engaging learners in engineering practices.
• Confident that you can implement open-ended engineering and computer science challenges with your learners.

STEM Leader Institute

This institute prepares you to facilitate YES and EiE professional learning workshops to support teachers in your school, district, or state. You will experience engineering and computer science lessons as a learner, consider pedagogical approaches as an educator, and reflect on facilitation strategies as a workshop facilitator.

You will leave this institute:

• Prepared to facilitate immersive, active YES and EiE workshops for teachers.
• Prepared to educate others about the structure, components, and pedagogy of YES and EiE curricula.
