The Importance of STEM Education for K-2 Learners | Getting Smart - 4 views

  •  
    "There's a buzz around Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education these days. Teachers on all levels, administrators, education standards writers, and government agencies know that our country needs to produce students skilled in the STEM fields to fill jobs and continue our country's tradition of innovation."

STEM and Writing: A Super Combination | Edutopia - 3 views

  •  
    "As a writing teacher, when I advocate for more writing and speaking in the STEM subjects, it can cue an eye roll or two. After all, why wouldn't I think that? But here, from the mouth of a mathematical physicist, comes a similar message supporting the need for a more blended pathway through our content areas."

3-D Printer Helps Paralyzed Woman Walk : Discovery News - 1 views

  •  
    "When doctors told Amanda Boxtel in the early 1990s that she'd never walk again, they had probably never dreamed of 3-D printing. Now, the woman who was paralyzed from the waist down in a 1992 skiing accident is defying that prediction with the help of a 3D-printed exoskeleton,"

Henry Evans and Chad Jenkins: Meet the robots for humanity | Talk Video | TED - 1 views

  •  
    Paralyzed by a stroke, Henry Evans uses a telepresence robot to take the stage - and show how new robotics, tweaked and personalized by a group called Robots for Humanity, help him live his life. He shows off a nimble little quadrotor drone, created by a team led by Chad Jenkins, that gives him the ability to navigate space - to once again look around a garden, stroll a campu

Challenges of Laparoscopic Surgery - Activity - www.TeachEngineering.org - 2 views

  •  
    "Students teams use a laparoscopic surgical trainer to perform simple laparoscopic surgery tasks (dissections, sutures) using laparoscopic tools. Just like in the operating room, where the purpose is to perform surgery carefully and quickly to minimize patient trauma, students' surgery time and mistakes are observed and recorded to quantify their performances. They learn about the engineering component of surgery. "

Teaching Physics with Felt | Edutopia - 4 views

  •  
    "Science is best taught in a hands-on manner. For around $10 per student (plus fabric or other materials), they can create wearable circuits that will teach them not only about how circuits work, but also the fine motor skills involved in sewing, the planning skills associated with creating schematic diagrams, and the challenge of planning out more intricate circuits."

Creepy Crawly Cockroach - Projects - 3 views

  •  
    Through a combination of LEGO and littleBits, we were able to create a super smart cockroach that reacts to its environment just like a real one would. It is able to navigate tricky spaces and it scurries when it is exposed to light. When it finds a dark place to hide, it lays low and stays put.
