OC STEM INITIATIVE

Huge turnout at the Beckman Arts & Science Festival! @steminitiative and @UCIEngineering demonstrating the power of digital making with the @Raspberry_Pi and @CodeClub_USA at @SegerstromArts.

Congrats to Haithem Taha for his NSF $1 million grant to study his new aerodynamics theory of lift, challenging a century-old theory of flight! 🐜👍✈️ #engineering #aerodynamics #aerospaceengineering Read all about it: engineering.uci.edu/news/2023/9/re…

Introduce your kids to #Robotics 🤖 Understanding robotics is not just for scientists and engineers. Learning skills in this field will help empower your kids to be creators of our digital world instead of just consumers. rpf.io/blog-robotics #STEMEd #MakerEd #CodingForKids

Scratch Link 2.0 for Mac has been released! 🙌 This newest update brings back Safari support for Mac users. Windows users, stay posted for an update coming soon! Check out the updates by downloading Scratch Link, here: scratch.mit.edu/microbit

As students & educators begin a new academic year, we’re excited to continue providing support beyond the classroom through our programs at the TGR Learning Lab. From fun, engaging classes & academic support to college access & career readiness programs, we are #ChampionsForYouth

Researchers have developed a strategy to deliver #mRNA directly into bone marrow stem cells where it can edit genetic defects and help repopulate the bone marrow with healthy blood cells. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/3wE #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/3wD

After three sessions of College Bound Academy, high school seniors across the country are better prepared to pursue higher education. The sessions welcomed students online & in person and covered college exploration, admissions processes, financial aid & more. #ChampionsForYouth

As part of our mission to positively impact student’s academic, social, and emotional wellness, NASEF has partnered with leading researchers from the @CLLab at the University of California, Irvine to document, assess, and continually improve our programs! #NASEF #gaming #esports

You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting. You don’t get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: JUNE 19TH LabXchange is offering a new, paid summer opportunity for US-based middle and high school educators! 20 select participants will receive a $4,000 stipend for the development of 10 lesson plans in a 3-month design project. about.labxchange.org/2023/06/08/sci…

Every child is a scientist by nature. Children lose their inborn curiosity as they grow up. The important thing is to keep asking questions, keep learning - and doing - new things. 🧠

Four amazing projects made by my 8th graders #computerscience I taught them to sew, how to connect circuits, and how to program them. @EHMSBobcats #WeAreBUSD I am loving the CPX @adafruit combined with @teknikio #STEMeducation

Big news, Mac users! Our latest ScratchJr update is approved for Mac computers with Apple Silicon. If you're using a Mac with an M1 or M2 chip, you can now run ScratchJr on your device! Download the app here: apps.apple.com/app/id895485086

🎉Science fair season is here! From CA to NYC & worldwide, students everywhere are getting ready to display their hard work & commitment to solve problems in their community using STEM & Coding! #ScienceFair #STEMeducation #ICODE #STEM #BroadcomCodingWithCommitment

💫Bringing a physical element to #computing education is proven to greatly enhance how children learn how to #code. Using the #microbit helps make connections between the code entered on screen to real life. Our 🆕resources for @codeorg are available now👇 code.org/maker/csf-micr…

Explore wearable electronics, e-textiles, sewn circuits, and more with these 8 Wearables Science Projects — #wearables explorations for K-12 #STEM. sciencebuddies.org/blog/wearables… #sciencefair #scienceteacher #maker

Exciting news! Join our next training series on Building Belonging facilitated by experts from PEAR. Reimagine what belonging could look like & focus on building meaningful, safe relationships with youth. Register now for all 3 sessions for just $60. buff.ly/3llmTkJ
