Charlotte-Area Teachers Invited To Participate
NASA is set to offer free workshops blending science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines using NASA
education resources relating to current and future the agency's
missions.
Registration is now open for the third annual NASA STEM Educator
Workshop Series sponsored by NASA Langley Research Center in
Hampton, Va., and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools on March 1-3.
NASA is developing new approaches to innovation. Appropriately,
the theme for this year's workshops is "Embrace the Challenge to
Innovate." Attendees can earn between 6 to 18 hours toward
continuing education units and choose to attend either two or three
days of the workshops. "It is an opportunity to discover the
learning potential in trying new approaches to the seemingly
difficult or impossible," said Dynae Fullwood, aerospace education
specialist at NASA Langley. "The workshops will explore engineering
design challenges, problem-based learning activities, distance
learning modules, inquiry-based lessons, and hands-on
projects."
Formally held at the IBM Center in downtown Charlotte, this year
the workshops will be held at Whitewater Middle School, 1520
Belmeade Dr., Charlotte, N.C. "The new venue affords us the
opportunity to invite more educators," Fullwood said. "As in
previous years, we have grown the event by doubling the number of
participants. This year we are able to double the number of
workshop sessions, thus increasing the capacity for attendees
dramatically."
