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

SUMMER 2020 TEACHER-IN-RESIDENCE APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

Are you a K-12 Cape & Islands STEM educator interested in bringing
STEM education to life in your classroom? Our Teacher-in-Residence program
connects K-12 educators with local STEM-rich institutions each summer to
immerse in the organization's activities and create robust
standards-aligned curriculum units which we publish on our website
<https://capecodstemnetwork.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e42964f129d483d76c0c4bbc&id=8620bfac73&e=8218c8d8d7>
.

Each externship provides a $1,000 stipend to the educator and the
opportunity to connect with leading regional STEM institutions by creating
a curriculum one or more units they can use with their students. This
summer we are pleased to offer two externships that will take place
virtually, and will focus on teaching STEM in the remote
learning environment. The first externship will be with Woods Hole Sea
Grant, and the second will be announced shortly. The externships will be
open until filled.
