Launching STEM Success: Integrating Immersive Experiences into your Curriculum

Wed. September 11, 2024 | 9:00 am - 2:30 pm CDT

Countdown to immersive STEM learning in 3…2…1…liftoff!

Join us to discover how immersive experiences can help your students apply critical STEM skills in a whole new way. During this workshop, we’ll focus on a specific immersive experience where students take on roles of a NASA crew and complete a simulated training mission. In their roles, each student complete unique tasks and experiments to teach critical STEM skills from math to biology.

Once we’ve completed the experience as a group, we’ll discuss how your students can compete in our 2025 KidWind challenge with free supplies, travel, and substitute teacher reimbursement for your district. Along the way, we’ll also introduce how NGSS-aligned programs can seamlessly fit into your teaching schedule and help students gain STEM confidence.

All materials for educators attending this workshop will be provided.
