Session description

If teachers have fun creating curriculum, kids will have fun learning. See how our regional Science Champions project used AI technology and a maker-centered approach to turn curriculum design into a game and create engaging, sports-focused elementary STEAM explorations that support state, Next-Generation Science and ISTE standards.

Outline

The poster will use a combination of printed material, cloud-based resources (accessed via a QR code), and a digital display to bring the experience of creating the curriculum to life.

Printed Materials:
The poster will present a timeline of the project. Each event will feature pictures of participants and work products as well as a list of key features, goals, and takeaways.

Cloud-based resources: A QR Code will link to more information and resources from each event on the timeline, including a list of prompts used to create content.

Digital/Laptop Display:
This will feature additional pictures and videos from events on the timeline.

In addition, there will be a version of the game used during our initial curriculum design charrette for participants to play and engage in rapid brainstorming, as well as a prize giveaway.
