K-12 teachers will engage in a variety of STEM related team building challenges. Explore the use of group activities to get students to communicate with each other. One of the challenges will include a Breakout Box Game using a variety of tools. You will learn to reset locks and set up your own Breakout Box Game from scratch. Completion of this training is required to borrow CESTEM's Breakout Boxes.
Teachers will work with other new coaches to build a SeaPerch ROV from start to finish just like they will do with their new teams in grades 6-12. While supplies last, schools new to SeaPerch with a representative that completes the training will receive one ROV kit to build with their new team. (Limit one kit per school.)
K-8 teachers will consider Astronomy concepts through engaging activities they can recreate with their students in the classroom. Explore night/day, seasons, shadows, and moon phases. View constellations and hear stories about them from all over the world. Learn about and even try out items in CESTEM’s Technology Loan Program that support teaching Astronomy concepts.
