This is a workshop run by the Museum of Science and not affiliated with ATMIM:
The Museum of Science, Boston is currently accepting applications for What Do You Mean by STEAM? a free institute for K-12 educators exploring the rich overlap between science, technology, engineering, math and fine arts. This three day institute will take place at the museum Tuesday February 17- Thursday February 19, 2015 from 8:30am-3:30pm.
Using the Museum's resources, we will highlight methods for fostering student creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking through this cross-disciplinary approach to learning. We'll engage in activities incorporating a range of media, including, but not limited to, performance, visual arts, writing, movement, and music to engage with STEM curriculum in relevant and authentic ways. Collegial discussions will help participants reflect on these experiences and begin to imagine connections to their own curriculum and teaching practice.
Participants will be selected by a competitive application process. Applications will be accepted through January 12, 2015. Participants will receive 18 Massachusetts PDPs upon successful completion of this professional development program. Free parking will also be provided to all participants.
