WEBINARS FOR STEM EDUCATORS:



**
------------------------------------------------------------

When: May 21, 2020 1:00-1:45PM

Educators, join the Lemelson-MIT Program and the Cape Cod Regional STEM Network for a free, resource-filled webinar.  We will offer resources and tips for engaging students with STEM at home through invention projects.

The Lemelson-MIT Program, located in MIT’s School of Engineering, has prepared and celebrated young inventors for over 15 years. We will share invention education resources that have proven to help develop inventive mindsets and hands-on skills for inventing and engineering design among K-12 students. We will also provide an in-depth walkthrough of one invention activity that is fun and engaging for classrooms and families!

Your Instructors for this webinar:

Leigh Estabrooks, Ed.D.

Leigh is the invention education officer for LMIT, and oversees all K-12 invention education initiatives. Leigh previously managed LMIT's InvenTeams program, and has been instrumental in the development of new initiatives, including Junior Varsity InvenTeams™ and the 2010 launch of the Inventing Merit Badge in partnership with the Boy Scouts of America. Previously, Leigh held positions in new product development at Fortune 500 consumer products companies, and was a licensed secondary school educator at a technical high school.

Helen Zhang, Ph.D.

Helen Zhang has over 15 years of experience in designing and implementing STEM activities in formal and informal settings. She develops online webinars addressing key issues related to Invention Education, conducts workshops to engage teachers in integrating invention projects in their classrooms, and provides practical suggestions to invention educators on how to better support young inventors.

Power of Wind: Professional Development workshop for middle school educators- Earn PDPs!

When: May 27, 2020 1:00-2:00pm

In this virtual workshop hosted by the Cape Cod Regional STEM Network, middle school teachers will learn how to teach engineering, design, data collection and analysis using wind turbines and multimeter technologies. Teachers will learn how how to engage their students in STEM through 3-dimensional learning opportunities. Teachers will receive a FREE wind turbine kit to use for online or classroom instruction. Topics covered will also include a flipped classroom approach and using Zoom breakout rooms to enhance instruction in the at-home learning environment.

Taught by Erik Benton, a former middle school educator and curriculum creator for CPO Science, educators will receive follow up one-on-one mentoring/instruction as part of this course.

Made possible through a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.

Space is limited. Preference will be given to educators on the Cape & Islands, but workshop is open to any Massachusetts educator. Register in advance for this Zoom workshop:
