Participants will understand and leave with a creative approach on how the engineering design process can be taught through dance and choreography.
Participants will gain an understanding of the basics of choreography.
Participants will leave with a plan to incorporate dance and choreography into a project based learning experience. This plan will include standard alignment to the National Core Arts Standards, Next Generation Science Standards as well as any local or state standards your school or district follows.
Participants will have gained a different approach for student self expression and confidence building.
Participants will begin to brainstorm ideas on how to deepen student learning and creativity by incorporating other forms of technology. These ideas can be, but are not limited to music mixing, props, wearable technology, and robots.
