Are you ready to facilitate the building of a society of learners as you go dream of what Dewey might have done with today’s technology? Discover how the process of PBL connects to STEM, how STEM goes beyond the initials of its content, and how the Maker Movement fits into both content and standards. Together we will examine these three educational movements through three ideas from Dewey. Michael, a facilitator at the National STEM Academy in Washington DC, STEM/PBL Facilitator for BIE, and STEMBL workshop designer for Discovery will share with you a multitude of Dewey-able ideas! Learn about great resources as you take a tour of web sites promoting STEM education. See firsthand examples of ways to include a Makers Program for all students in just about any environment. Turn up the heat on creativity, innovation, and collaboration! It really is time to do what Dewey would do today.
