SUMMARY:MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER COURSE: Inspiring Students with Sustainable Invention
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS COURSE\n*REGISTRATION IS FULL. Currently accepting waitlist registrations* \nAre you looking for strategies to foster student-driven exploration? Are you looking for the tools to confidently integrate NGSS in your classroom? \nMiddle school students are acutely aware of the problems of plastics and the impacts of climate change. They gravitate toward lessons that show them they can make a positive change in the world. Green chemistry is a terrific tool to show them that small changes can make a big difference. \nThrough a sustainable invention lens\, in this course\, we’ll provide tools for fostering student-driven exploration and interdisciplinary science and engineering concepts and practices. This course will provide educators with a robust set of resources and strategies to integrate sustainable invention into their own classrooms. Learn alongside experienced sustainable invention educators.
