Citadel STEM Center

Did you get your CSPD Box?

It’s beginning to look a lot like CS Ed Week ❄️☃️💻

Want to learn more about Storm the Citadel, Science Olympiad, or the KidWind Challenge? Register for one of next week’s webinars. Coaches can be teachers, parents, troop leaders, or other community members who want to support students in STEM.

The STEM Center will be at Burke HS Trunk or Treat today from 4:30-6:30. We hope to see you there. No tricks & all treats; we promise! 🎃

We're so excited to kick of #CSPDWeekSC this morning! Over 300 excited teachers are ready to dive into CS workshops! Let's see how #csconnects and learn more about #csforsc! Thanks to our sponsors: @csteachersorg @EducationSC @stem_citadel @codeorg

Taco bout a fun start to Infusing Computing 2021- We are incorporating the elements of computational thinking into making party favors for our dragon taco party! I made a taco holder.@SquishyCircuits #PRADA @stem_citadel @NCState

STEAM camp 2021 is officially over!! We are so sad to see our campers go, but days 3, 4, & 5 were defiantly a great end to the week. Swipe for more photos of campers and activities from these days.

STEAM Camp Day 1 & 2 were definitely a success. Swipe for more photos of our amazing, creative campers as well as a quick peak of today’s guest speaker, Monument Officer James Bezjian.

Today we had an educational session in for SUCCEED Volunteers with the Krause Center here at the Citadel. They are also our counselors for STEAM camp, and are SUPER excited for camp in 12 days. Are you?

Thanks @pnabbie for facilitating!!!!! Thanks all for the great chat! #squirrelschat

bit.ly/FCS_CSTA Scroll to the end. This is SC specific for our Fundamentals of Computing course but loosely maps to CS Discoveries as well #squirrelschat

@JessieRErickson ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! #squirrelschat

A4: "Let it go"... let the students lead, investigate and learn. You do not have to be the expert - allow students to be. In fact that is the best practice in the classroom for all content. Student autonomy and student centered learning. #SquirrelsChat

A3.2 A passionate teacher is key! Content knowledge is great too but passion and interest in learning with win the day every time. #squirrelschat

A3: In ES, starting small. Can be something flashy like a bot to peak their interest and then follow up with connections to their daily lives. #squirrelschat

@pnabbie @Squirrels @codeorg @gotynker @kodable @dash_and_dot Always happy to help!!!

@Squirrels @codeorg @gotynker @kodable @dash_and_dot It was so fun! My 'technovators' ran the labs (with the coding sites), different grade levels sang carols, PTA served cocoa, and we had stations with the bots and other lessons (thanks @stem_citadel ) #SquirrelsChat #CS4All

A2: I used to celebrate CS Week with Ss by jumping on @codeorg, @gotynker, @kodable, @dash_and_dot, and unplugged activities. We also used to host a 'Coding, Caroling, and Cocoa' with the Music teachers, PTA, & my technovators in the evening #SquirrelsChat @Squirrels

@elainej Why is there so little about hardware? I have wondered that alot lately.

@elainej @codeorg @dash_and_dot @Sphero @Ozobot We played with Ozobots with teachers tonight! Great fun!!! Love to hear ideas on how to incorporate with students. Water cycle, writing stories, coordinate pairs...so many opportunities

A2: We host Cookies, Cocoa, and Coding to give ALL students a place to experience hands-on CS and to show their parents what CS is #squirrelschat
