More Information
Attend for just one topic, or for the full two and a half days! The instructors will adapt to the grade level of interest to participants.
Day 1: 3D Printing and Math Curriculum
Learn about the basics of 3D printers and try creating a simple model for IEA’s printers. We will introduce coding and the over 100 existing free, open source 3D printable models associated with our math and science books. We will also discuss real-world experience with using these models, and consider how to assess learning when teaching this way.
Day 2: Electronics
We will talk through different products and boards options, and help you understand what to select for various needs. We will review open-source freely available micro:bit-based lesson plans by the instructors as starting points, and expand from there on ways to create projects to demonstrate age-appropriate math and physics concepts at a variety of levels.
Day 3: Project Design and Costing
You have learned a lot in the last two days, but how do you apply it? The instructors will guide participants in small groups on how to design maker projects for their students and do some impromptu skills demonstrations where possible.
