Helping Kids Explore STEM Careers http://k12engineering.net/transcripts/ep10.html

How do you recognize and nurture kids' interests in careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)? Guest Lois Melbourne speaks about this topic, as a former CEO of a company in talent management software, and as the author of the illustrated children's book called "The STEM Club Goes Exploring”. Engineer Pius Wong is your host. [audio] + [transcript]


Balloon Rocket Car https://www.homesciencetools.com/a/balloon-rocket-car-project/

A rocket is simply a chamber filled with pressurized gas. A small opening called a nozzle allows the air to escape, causing thrust that propels the rocket. You can demonstrate this when you blow up a balloon and let it go without tying it off. The balloon will fly through the air as all the air inside escapes.

The principles of rocketry apply to more than flying rockets - with this project you can make a 'rocket car' that is powered by pressurized gas (air in a balloon!).

For a class, have students work in pairs. Clear a space about 3 feet wide and 10 feet long. This is a great testing area. Se whose car goes the furthest. Usually, by making small adjustments to the car after each test, the car will go further, faster and straighter.

This is a great way to collect empty water bottles and recycle them, first as balloon rocket cars, then with recyclables.


Marble Roller Coaster http://www.instructables.com/id/Marble-Roller-Coaster/

Marble roller coaster day is a class favorite. It's an open-ended, fast-paced, constantly evolving, and easy to explain. This project reaches a wide span of grade ranges, from K-12.

video https://youtu.be/4lOFshwO0oA

Using just 3/4" - 1" foam pipe insulation, Masking tape and Marbles, kids make wild rides for the marble "passengers".

You can also include elements from around the classroom, like tables, chairs, yardsticks, string, etc. To make the project more interesting

Allow 2 minutes near end of class for students to try each others coasters. The foam track components can be used again so have everyone gently take apart only their own roller coaster and keep for the next roller coaster day.

Suggestions for member benefits

  • [Learning] This may be a stretch but this might be the SWENextEd "value add" educator benefit. * How this could work - SWENextEd would be a "virtual school district" in their model so members get "teacher" access to all the resources. Package includes lots of pretty good content already. Over time SWENextEd can add more specific to needs of SWENext educators and complement the direction that the SWENext program goes. * Comes with Member Management https://www.kytelearning.com/schools-districts. * Teachers always need "credit" so this would be a huge benefit. * Nice visibility for SWE too. * swe - how-to use EdTech for engineering activities - TinkerCAD > bridge, house, solve water distribution problem, rube goldberg * powerpoint - make your own adventure "report" * scratch / robot fashion show

  • [Pay Teachers] - some free "teasers". Limited engineering. Extremely popular with teachers.


Teaching Engineering - Higher Ed

  • [College] - Olin College of Engineering was founded to not only graduate engineering innovators who will be leaders in solving the pressing global challenges of today and tomorrow but also as a resource to other colleges and universities across the world seeking to broaden and rethink their educational approaches and learning environments.
  • Freshman Engineering - research, revised curriculum, some reports on actual implementation but not clear that this changes the culture in most large engineering schools
  • schools increasing women enrolled in engineering * Harvey Mudd * Tufts
