Thursday, March 10th @ 8:00 AM - Bonaire 3-4

A hands-on workshop utilizing drones and introducing a powerful middle to high curriculum continuum that explores STEAM and CTE concepts, careers, and prepares students for the FAA Part 107 certification exam for commercial drone use. This workshop will be broken into 3 different stations with a round table discussion at the end. 1. High School Drone Curriculum (Hands on Airport Operations and Airspace) 2. Middle School Drone Curriculum (Hands on Autonomous Coding and Career Connections) 3. Hands on Flying Practice (Basic Flight Maneuvers and Terminology).

 

IEEE REACH - Thomas Edison and the Electrification of America 

Thursday, March 10th @ 1:00 PM - Curacao 7-8

During the 1880s, Edison commercialized direct current generation systems. However, the adoption of electricity was a non-linear evolution impacted by

 access, wealth, and alternatives. Explore connections between the invention and adoption of electric lighting with Historian Dr.Hellrigel, former editor of the Edison Papers. Walk away with free lesson plans that highlight the history of technology in its societal context.

 

Unruly Studios - How to Combine Code & Play with Unruly Splats 

Friday, March 11th @ 8:00 AM - Antigua 1-2

One key to teaching STEM subjects in elementary and middle school is to make it approachable, fun, and playful! See it first hand as we demonstrate how Unruly Splats are used across a school to increase student engagement and cross-curricular code — we'll play a few games live too!

 

STEM Education Works - Advanced Manufacturing with Robotics, It’s Never too Early 

Friday, March 11th @ 1:00 PM - Grand Sierra I

Get hands on experience with a desktop robotic arm as you solve a real-world manufacturing problem. You’ll learn how robotic arms, coding and manufacturing concepts can be implemented by our youngest learners while also incorporating core curriculum into your lessons. Leave with ideas to take back to your classroom.

 

Texas Instruments - Come on Over and Code

Friday, March 11th @ 8:00 AM - Curacao 5-6

This hands-on session will give you a taste of how much fun coding can be. Using a TI-Innovator Rover robotic vehicle, you will write programs (no experience required) that control the speed, direction, and sensing of the rover. This is a great way to get students excited about robotics and coding. Appropriate for middle school and high school.
