Bristol STEM Teachers Network Meeting Thursday 11th June (Part 1) "Engineering a better world" Online via Zoom 4.00pm – 5.00pm Follow up meeting on Thursday 2nd July (Part 2) The Royal Academy of Engineer’s ‘Connecting STEM Teachers’ programme (CST) aims to create a national network of support for teachers across all STEM subjects, ensuring they have the knowledge and confidence to engage a greater number and wider spectrum of school students with STEM in their school. The programme provides free STEM project resources and training, professional development and enhanced learning experiences for teachers attending regional network meetings.
What's on offer? The Royal Academy of Engineering would like to invite teachers of STEM subjects (including Computer Science) to an afternoon of CPD, networking and sharing of good practice. Those attending will receive free training on the Academy’s recent resource Engineering a Better World. This fantastic kit contains 6 activity booklets, a DEXT science kit and a bundle of components including solar panels, motors, LED strips, pumps and wires to get you started quickly and easily. Opportunities to develop STEM with your students will also be presented at the meeting, as well as the chance to share ideas with colleagues from other schools. How will it work? Due to the current (ever changing) situation this term will see the network meeting happen online for the first time. Hosted on Zoom, there will be an initial meeting for introductions, a presentation of the box and the activities, as well as a chance to network with local colleagues. The resource kit will then be sent to you or your school for you to try out. A 2nd meeting three weeks after will be a chance for us all to catch up again, compare experiences, share thoughts and network again. Where do I sign up?! Please complete the Google Form here or send an email to [email protected] at your earliest convenience and no later than Friday 5th June so I can confirm final numbers for ordering of resources. This is a two-part session and resources will be sent to you or your school between the two meetings. Hope to see you at the meeting. |
