It has been great to be a part of #NSTAchat. If anyone is interested in learning more about our article please reach out. nsta.org/connected-scie…

On January 27 and 28, 47 SMILE teachers from across the state came to OSU to participate in the SMILE 2023 Winter Teacher Workshop! The SMILE team is grateful to work with this amazing community of teachers and we look forward to seeing them at the next workshop in May!

Thanks #NSTAchat for another insightful chat!!

@MorphoInstitute Data scientists and educators need to work together so these data sets can be used by learners of all ages #NSTAchat

A5 Use data sets that resonate with learner. #NSTAchat

A3 Provide the resources and PD to teachers so they are able to facilitate and support students in exploring data #NSTAchat

@chaddorsey How do we support teachers in bringing messy datasets into their classrooms? #NSTAchat

A2 2/ These data contain missing values, noise, and variation that makes them challenging to interpret or work with at times. However, they are also authentic and relatable—they may be from students’ backyards! Both messiness and relatability are key for learning. #NSTAchat

A1: Deeper learning and more effective discussions #NSTAchat

Hi #NSTAchat, Jay Well from Oregon State University Precollege Programs.

We have launched a new podcast series, hosted by @toldson! Each episode of Collaborative Strategies for Inclusive Change will highlight practical ideas for creating innovative collabs to address inclusivity in #STEM. Check out the 1st episode today! @NSF includesnetwork.org/whats-new/podc…

Thanks Carolyn for organizing and inviting us to this chat!! #NSTAchat

Great model for engagement: Youth/citizen science. See Cornell Lab of Ornithology: birds.cornell.edu/home/ #NSTAchat

@CogSciDIY @caahayes How do you get students to curate the misinformation that they encounter on the internet? #NSTAchat

@caahayes A4: There’s a lot of great science content out there on the internet and we see our program as contributing to that stream of positive information. It’s important to engage with young people in interactive ways and in places where they go naturally. #NSTAchat

A4: Engaging in content that is relevant to their lives. We have used GE Ag as an engagement point because youth see labels on their food: smile.oregonstate.edu/lesson/why-gen… #NSTAchat

A4: Lateral reading tools developed by SHEG and adopted in the curriculum we describe in our CSL paper. #NSTAchat
