Goal 4: Intrapersonal Intelligence Narrative
It is easy for adolescents, because their lives are full of constant change, to feel like any conflict, challenge, or criticism makes them a failure. However, these are actually opportunities to grow and learn, about oneself and others. They are opportunities to self-reflect, challenge your own assumptions and knowledge, expand your knowledge and skill sets, gain a broader understanding of different perspectives, and develop yourself on an individual level and within a relationship—friends, family, roommates, significant others, professional, and so on. Adapting a growth mindset during adolescence will prepare teens well for college and the professional world ahead of them. …
Imagination To Innovation: Design Thinking For Young Learners, Lindsey Herlehy, Cassandra Armstrong
Imagination To Innovation: Design Thinking For Young Learners, Lindsey Herlehy, Cassandra Armstrong
Publications & Research
Design thinking is the intersection of engineering design and social-emotional learning. Today’s learners must be empathetic problem solvers capable of defining problems and designing appropriate solutions to meet the needs of the user. In this session, participants will experience design thinking through literature-based scenarios appropriate for early learners. They will analyze and compare their own models to those of others and compose a lesson that will engage students in the design thinking process.

Why Are There Microscopes In The Art Room?, Joyce Symoniak
Professional Learning Day
During this presentation we will explore how working cross curriculum enhances learning within the visual arts, science and mathematics. We will discuss how the visual arts curriculum can be created in order to bond with STEM courses for student success. Through exploration we will discuss how collaboration within these courses can be used to solidify cross curriculum understanding and learning. Attendees are asked to bring a sample project or lesson.

E2: Equity And Excellence Framework, Adrienne Coleman
Professional Learning Day
Considering there is a national and global equity focused call to action, IMSA engaged in a process to institutionalize and operationalize Equity and Excellence to address educational inequities. This included policy development, capacity building to engage in equity work, an inclusive and comprehensive data collection methodology, data meaning making, as well as an equity and excellence plan and scorecard development. This presentation will provide participants with an understanding of educational equity, share tools to assist in drafting datainformed policy/plans, and provide a framework to score and measure progress in advancing equity. It will share how to approach equity and excellence …

Functional Design + Steam, David Hernandez
Professional Learning Day
Electronic kiosks are everywhere...ordering your food at a restaurant, checking your luggage at the airport, or getting the perfect paint for your living room. Do you know how they work? During this session students will explore the Functional Design Specification (FDS) and encourage students to think abstractly, create, engineer, test, redesign, and create a marketing campaign for a new product. STEAM to the next level.

Saving Skee-Ball: Applying Engineering & Science With A Fun Storyline, Christine L. Moskalik
Professional Learning Day
How do engineering and science apply to a simple game of skee-ball? In this session, participants will be introduced to various STEM concepts that can be incorporated into a simple, inexpensive, and fun activity that is coupled with a fun storyline (saving the game of Skee-ball). Educators will work as teams to modify, design aspects of, and play the game. Along the way, they will discover ways to do this with their own students.

Can I Pick Your Brain? Exploratory Brain Dissection, Nicole Ross, Jessica Amacher, Desirae Klimek
Professional Learning Day
Science labs, particularly dissections, are often confirmatory in nature, conducted at the end of learning to solidify and assess concept knowledge. What if we flipped the script on these labs and began with an exploratory version, instead? Participants will engage in an inquirybased brain dissection, and explore ways to flip one of their current labs to encourage active exploration of concepts in their classroom. This session includes an active dissection of a sheep brain.

Visualization Tools And Analogies To Model Strong Vs. Weak Acids, Angela Ahrendt, Laura Kopff
Professional Learning Day
We will present two different ways to introduce the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid. The first one uses a Phet simulation where the students can change different parameters in an inquiry based approach. The second one is a hands-on activity using a guided packet and manipulatives to model the differences between strong and weak acids. Attendees must bring a computer.

The Art Of Currency!, David Hernandez, Joyce Symoniak
Professional Learning Day
While some artists dream about making tons of money, other artists dream about designing money. STEM plus art (STEAM) is the perfect mix for the creation and innovation of currency. First, the students will explore the paper making process to find out the best currency paper. Then, students will create their own currency in an engaging, hands-on, and 3-dimensional learning activity. Join us to take STEAM to the next level and let’s create money!

Professional Learning Day
As STEM educators, it can be hard to keep up with what’s happening in our fields outside of the classroom because we have to prioritize the content and skills we share with the students in front of us. But we teach what we do, hopefully, because we love it, and part of our professional development should be to keep that love alive. In this session, we will share ideas for how to stay current, excited and engaged in your own field and in STEM as a whole, when your classroom content only covers the basics that repeat every year. Bring …
