“All words are pegs to hang ideas on.” A quote by Henry Beecher popped off the page as I looked for a way to enter into this blog.
Over the break I attended the Tennessee Association for Gifted Conference in Nashville, and yesterday Sheri and I visited the Discovery Center of Murfreesboro. It’s safe to say, I am in need of pegs for hanging the I’ve ideas collected over the past 10 days. Perhaps I’ll find the words to share some of the magnificent things I have seen! I’ll spread it out over a few posts.
I must start with something that’s happening at the Discovery Center in Murfreesboro. I just registered my own child for an engineering program being offered there. Engineering for Kids is partnering with the Discovery Center and holding sessions that provide a hands-on learning environment. The current session focuses on aerospace engineering. Sadly, it was full. BUT CHECK OUT THIS ONE!!! LEGO ROBO BATTLES. I certainly didn’t want to miss out on this one! I have officially registered my son.
If you have kids in your class that are into engineering, let the families know about this opportunity. With STEAM (STEM + Art), what an awesome after-school activity. Explore this the link for more information.
Not familiar with STEM or STEAM, google it. That’s your homework. I am personally choosing to research the concept better, too!
What are you doing in your classroom to incorporate STEAM or STEM?
