  4. STEM for All Center for Afterschool Education, Foundations Inc. YouthLearn Initiative @ EDC NOYCE

  5. It’s Eggtastic Who’s the Scientist? What did you observe? What skills did you use? What will happen?

  6. It’s Eggtastic Following directions Observing Guessing(making hypothesis) Experimenting Forming conclusions Reading Communicating Engaging Social Blended Active Learner-centered STEM in Afterschool

  7. Everyday STEM • Accessible • Experiential • Builds on youth’s curiosity • Relevant • Tied to school day learning

  8. Knowing how to facilitate STEM Connecting STEM learning to school day Developing staff & planning for action Drawing on existing resources STEM in Afterschool Takes:

  9. Gear Reflection • Everyday STEM • STEM in afterschool is blended • STEM in afterschool takes

  10. STEM in Afterschool Takes: Knowing how to facilitate STEM

  11. STEM Process

  12. Activity Centers Document your process and experience using the STEM Process Tool • Puff Cars(Engineering and Math) • You Are What You Eat (Science) • Get Animated(Technology)

  13. What did you do? What observations did you have? What questions did you come up with? What ideas did you try out? What did you find out? What did you learn?

  14. STEM Process

  15. What did we do? • What happened? • Why do you think it happened that way? • Can you think of another way to try that? • What happens if….? • What are you seeing that works? We asked questions!

  16. Best Practices Strategies for Facilitating STEM Learning • Ask open-ended questions • More than one answer • Question assumptions • Think, try, and discuss • Asking and answering questions • Peer-learning and sharing

  17. Taking it Back From here ? to there…

  18. Gear Reflection • STEM process • Activity centers • Facilitation best practices

  19. STEM in Afterschool Takes: Knowing how to facilitate STEM Connecting STEM learning to school day

  20. How do you know what kids are learning about STEM? • Teachers, parents, kids • Homework assignments • Bulletin boards, hallways, newsletters • Curriculum, textbooks • Department of Education website • Assessments

  21. STEM Process Standards Look around Ask questions Get an idea Try it out Think again Make sense of it Observation Testable questions Hypothesis Test the hypothesis Analyze findings and/or revise hypothesis Explain findings

  22. STEM Everywhere Darryl’s Afterschool Wonderland 3:15-3:45 Arrival and snack 3:45-4:30 Homework 4:30-5:30 Enrichment (Possible Activities include: arts & crafts, games, dance, photography) 5:30-6:00 Recreation 6:00 -6:15 Dismissal

  23. Your Program

  24. Bringing STEM into Your Program Step 1: Looking at Your Program 10 word description grade levels activity name

  25. Step 2: Contributing to Other Programs

  26. Gear Reflection • STEM process standards • Current STEM activities • Building more STEM into your program

  27. STEM in Afterschool Takes: Knowing how to facilitate STEM Connecting STEM learning to school day Drawing on existing resources

  28. Mapping Community Assets What STEM content-expertise exists within your community? Municipal Institutions (Parks, Police, Govt. Agencies) Schools/Universities Your Afterschool Program Other NPOs Religious Orgs. Cultural Organizations/Museums Corporations/Media Families/Elders Local Businesses

  29. Resources Local STEM organizations(museums, park districts, universities) Community contacts(mentors & volunteers) Other STEM programs(4-H, Girls Inc., Explore It!) Online Resources(Thinkfinity, PBS, Try Science)

  30. And the young people themselves… They bring: • Knowledge • Questions • Curiosities • Humor

  31. Resource Criteria Such as: • Relevant to youth • Tied to school day learning • Age Appropriate • Affordable resource • Easy to adapt and implement • Community connection • Inclusion • Workplace/ Career Linkages

  32. Gear Reflection • Program resources • Resource criteria

  33. Knowing how to facilitate STEM Connecting STEM learning to school day Developing staff & planning for action Drawing on existing resources STEM in Afterschool Takes:

  34. Lesson Plan • Goals • Materials & equipment • Preparation • Activity steps • Conclusions • Connection to standards • Variations & extensions

  35. Resourcesto Support Staff Tool to AssessStudent Progress and Understanding

  36. Making STEM Happen Challenges Solutions

  37. Planning for Action

  38. Gear Reflection • Lesson planning • Tools to assess learning • Action plan

  39. Knowing how to facilitate STEM Connecting STEM learning to school day Developing staff & planning for action Drawing on existing resources Today
