The Challenge is On: Using Engineering and Design Challenges in Chemistry to Support ALL Learners

Friday, October 29 • 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Oregon Convention Center - B117/118/119


Show Details

Sponsoring Company: Savvas Learning Co.

Join us as we explore the ways engineering and design challenges can be used within a chemistry program to support learning and deepen conceptual understanding for diverse learners.

TAKEAWAYS:
1. Teachers can use engineering and design challenges to reach different populations of learners; 2. Engineering and design challenges provide a strategy to support a three-dimensional classroom; and 3. Engineering challenges support historically marginalized populations as they are able to represent their learning and understanding by building a prototype and not just orally or in writing.

SPEAKERS:

Sponsoring Company: Beyond Labz

Built on a platform developed over 20 years, Beyond Labz creates an open-ended environment providing students the opportunity to experiment, practice, fail, discover, and learn.

TAKEAWAYS:
1. Beyond Labz simplifies and reduces the cost and expertise needed to provide crucial laboratory experiences and practice for Secondary and Higher Ed students; 2. Attendees will learn how the labs are used for pre- and post-lab experiences, credit recovery and lab make-up, student engagement in class, and meeting NGSS standards; and 3. Basic onboarding and start-up instructions will be provided for drop-in solutions, and instructions for using some of the more sophisticated features will also be described.
