Critical Thinking, Engineering, Professional Development

Are you getting the most from your STEM Challenge activities? I'll tell you a secret: the magic is in everything that happens after the build phase. It took me awhile to figure that out and to find my groove for getting students to think critically, analyze, and make meaning and connections, and I'm sharing what I've learned to save you the time and headaches from doing your own trial & error!In this bundle, I'll share two professional development sessions I presented at Elementary STEM CON

Inventory for use with LEGO's Mindstorms EV3 Core Set

Created by

The STEM Lady

This is an inventory sheet for Lego Mindstorms EV3 set. The kits have been purchased and organized. After students have built a structure or two, pieces turn up on the floor and you don't know which kit they belong to. Other kits are missing pieces and you have to replace the pieces before building can resume. This can interrupt a smooth learning process, and create frustration by both users and facilitators.Using an Excel file, students sort and account for their pieces and print out the

Character Education, Engineering

If you're really challenging your students, you may have wondered how to teach them to not give up or shut down when STEM Challenge activities seem too hard. It's one thing to tell them to have a growth mindset, never give up, and keep trying... It's another thing altogether to teach them how to actually do that, especially when they're frustrated and not thinking logically!Perseverance & determination are skills that have to be taught.
