“Unlike their more affluent counterparts, students who live in underserved communities typically lack access to what are now considered STEM basics: up-to-date laboratories, laptop or tablet computers and access to the Internet.” http://bit.ly/2N7EOVd
Through the voices of our panelists who each serve the underserved, participants will experience the successful and not-so-much-so lessons designed to engage students to be active participants in STEM topics. Each panelist will share a story of such an experience with students. Panelists work in a variety of educational settings spanning elementary through higher education and will discuss working with STEMinists, high school skills classes, inner-city and immigrant populations.
Our goals
1. Participants will walk away empowered to face the challenges of providing STEM equity.
2. Participants will have some ideas of what they can try that has worked.
3. Participants will learn of ways they can advocate for digital equity.
4. Participants will get to meet a broad range of presenters, know how to contact them, and access lesson resources through the ISTE Digital Backpack and the STEM PLN website.
This is a four person panel plus a moderator. The moderator will bring the panel to order, intro the objectives of the session, and introduce in turn each speaker. Each speaker will give a five-minute ISTE Ignite style presentation followed by five-minutes of Q&A. The remaining time, will be used for general Q&A and wrap-up.
