There has been a fair amount of criticism leveraged against “paint-by-numbers” types of STEM and maker kits. This criticism revolves around the stifling of the creativity of learners. I contend that learners need foundational skills so that they can be freed up to be creative. Think about learning how to cook or play an instrument. The basic and foundational skills need to be there in order for the makers to go in directions that are new and creative for them. .

A phenomenon is very simply put an observable event. Some natural phenomena we see are rainbows, lightning, and geysers. These phenomena make us even as adults wonder and ask questions. Can you imagine the questions going through a child’s head as they watch a geyser erupt? Or when they see a huge thunderstorm roll into their neighborhood? We want to encourage these questions, these wonders, these ideas.

Introduction. Today we live in a world where accessibility matters. With the surge in digitalization, there is a dire need for digital technology that doesn’t exclude users with disabilities. Here, inclusion in accessibility becomes a pivotal factor of interest and talk point of the hour. But integrating accessibility seems like a daunting task for many companies.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

I was wondering if you were going to update your 5 steps book for the 2021 – 2022 school year since the course content has changed? And when would that become available? We are updating for the 2022 edition. Thing is, since the announcement that waves/electricity would be incorporated into AP Physics 2 came after the books were in the proof stage, we're keeping the waves/electricity material in the Physics 1 book.

In a study of low-income, urban youth in the U.S., researchers found that students exposed to Photovoice, an educational intervention, experienced greater improvements in STEM-capacity scores and environmental awareness scores compared to a group of youth who were not exposed to the activity. The results suggest that the Photovoice activities may be associated with improved learning outcomes.
