Inventing and Making in the Classroom

Catalog description

In the course, teachers will learn about and be exposed to a set of tools and technologies that promote making and inventing in the classroom: computer programming via Scratch and other tools; robotics; 3D printing; and others. In addition, teachers will develop a conceptual framework that addresses inventing and making in the classroom through the lens of inquiry. Teachers will then work to incorporate these tools into their teaching of the STEM-D content areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Design). This work will be correlated with Common Core Learning Standards as well as Next Generation Science Standards.
