Science and engineering share many of the same practices, however, they are fundamentally different fields with different pursuits and processes. Scientists typically seek multiple strands of evidence to support or refute claims about the natural world, while engineers use an iterative problem solving process to meet specific, often human-related, needs. Tensions between these two fields can make it difficult to integrate engineering into the science classroom, but simple strategies can help teachers use engineering design as an inclusive way to teach science concepts.

Mrs. Karen Taylor, a media specialist at Liberty Middle School, and seventh grader Russell Cuff stopped by Broadcast House today to talk about how drones can help introduce coding to young students. Cuff showed off a Parrot Minidrone. Parrot reports that more than 500 schools in the United States have incorporated Parrot drones into the school curriculum. "They're teaching our students great skills," said Taylor. "They're learning programming, they're learning problem solving skills and it's getting them ready for the job world, because drones are the jobs of the future." Via paul rayner

"Naslausky and Gazal, who now serve as co-presidents of the Zaniac company, oversee Zaniac franchises on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York and another two in Greenwich and Westport, Connecticut. Collectively, the three campuses employ about 80 people. Each site offers after-school and summer camp curriculums designed to help K-8 students fall in love with math and science – an opportunity the two women (who have five children between them) identified while trying to supplement their own kids’ education."

For many students, math and science have always been boring subjects, too bogged down with technical details to ever be fun or exciting. Teachers have long tried a variety of strategies to get students excited about STEM. It turns out, one of the best ways to get kids pumped about STEM is through the use of robots. Robots are naturally fun and exciting for kids. When they think of robotics, they might think of their favorite cartoons or superheroes. Learning how they can actually build and use robots is a great way to incorporate STEM into the curriculum without losing … Via paul rayner

Robots should not be a 1:1 experience. Robots should be used in pairs or small groups. Part of the magic of robots for educators is that students are not only learning how to write and debug programs to control a robot, they may also be learning or reviewing other curricular content, and they are learning to communicate and collaborate with one another and share roles and responsibilities.

Teaching engineering concepts to elementary students can be a challenge. The staff at Charles R. Drew begins with using age-appropriate vocabulary, scaffolded learning, and kinesthetic learning. "I think about teaching these concepts as though the students and I speak two different languages, and I must translate," says Courtney Bryant, Charles R. Drew's engineering design teacher. "I start by sharing very basic information on a topic in rather simplistic language, and then I let them experience it on their own to learn more. . . I introduce more complicated language as they navigate through the learning process."

How can you combine a student's love for baking with key lessons in math and science? Just by following the steps of a recipe, children can make important connections to lessons in the STEM field.
In particular, baking is an ideal vehicle for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) exploration. As STEM grows in importance within our elementary, middle and high schools, why not equip your student to succeed in it? Here are seven STEM benefits of baking with your student. Via paul rayner
