Presented by Texas Partnership for Out of School Time and Texas Girls Collaborative Project as part of the Million Girls Moonshot initiative in collaboration with The Region 13 Hub of the Texas EcosySTEM.
FREE for educators and out-of-school-time professionals or administrators. Space is limited.
Agenda Includes:
Overview of Million Girls Moonshot resources and frameworks
PBS SciGirls hands-on activities (including activities such as Take it in Stride, Parachute Parade, Bouncing Balloon, Cloud Clues, Dough Creatures, and Deep Sea Diver), strategies to engage girls in STEM, and resources
Effective hands-on activity facilitation techniques to engage girls in STEM
Strategies for effective engagement of STEM Role Models
Participants will engage in hands-on STEM learning, walk away with resources to lead TEKs-aligned hands-on STEM activities, get connected to an online educator community with 9 themed SciGirls activity facilitator guides (each with 5 or more hands-on STEM activities) and a bank of STEM role model videos and SciGirls episodes, and more! All participants will receive a goodie bag full of resources. The desired workshop outcomes are that participants immerse themselves in the content, learn new strategies to engage girls in STEM, get excited to share the resources and learnings with others, and go out and educate other educators so that the materials are disseminated widely.
Educators can earn 7 hours of CPE credits for participating in the workshop.
