[M3] 5 Nov (AM) - Empowerment with STEM: real-world problem solving for meaningful learning
Join us for this dynamic, workshop where we, from the heart of Tasmania’s education system, unveil the transformative power of integrating STEAM education with real-world applications. Drawing on the Tasmania Department for Education, Children and Young People DECYP's STEM Framework, we will guide you through our journey in Tasmanian Government schools, demonstrating the profound impact of connecting classroom learning with tangible, societal challenges.
Our workshop is designed to be both enlightening and interactive, engaging you in the dual role of learner and educator. We will kick off with an exploration of the key principles underlying our STEM approach, emphasising the importance of making learning relevant and meaningful for students. You will hear first-hand accounts of projects that have not only enriched student understanding but also fostered a deep sense of purpose by addressing local and global issues.
The core of our session will involve hands-on activities where you, as participants, will step into your students' shoes. Together, we will identify pressing real-life problems and brainstorm innovative STEM solutions, leveraging technology, engineering, mathematics, and the sciences. This process will not only highlight the critical role of creativity and interdisciplinary thinking but also equip you with practical strategies to inspire your students.
Whether you are looking to revitalise your teaching approach or seeking fresh ideas to engage your students, this workshop promises to offer valuable insights into making STEM education a catalyst for change. Join us to empower the next generation of problem solvers and innovators!
