If you ask middle school and high school students these days the most important skills they’re learning, they’re likely to name something they picked up on their own, outside of normal school hours. That’s according to Julie Evans, CEO of the nonprofit Project Tomorrow, who has been doing focus groups with students for years—both before and after the pandemic—and whose organization conducts an annual survey of middle and high school students about their learning.

On my first visit to the Lifelong Kindergarten Group and the MIT Media Lab, I notices a message on the windows. “Some people would rather move atoms than pixels.” That has stuck with my for years now. And it is quite true. Robots, game controllers, Internet of Things, and more are ways that computer science interacts with physical objects and not just pixels on a screen.

Content Warning: pregnancy loss/stillbirth. I sent this meme out to the faculty at my high school in May with an invitation to meet with me and reflect on this past year of teaching. I am an instructional coach and I teach emerging multilingual learners, but I also consider myself a practicing unlicensed teacher-therapist. Is that a thing? It should be a thing.

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.

It is impossible to separate science from the sociopolitical. As I think about updating my courses this summer, this idea is one that I keep coming back to and wanting to find additional ways to make explicit in my classes. Last summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Energy & Equity summer workshop (link takes you to the portal; find the current workshop info through links on that page).

Last week marked the first week of the 2022 Young Scholars Program in person! After being virtual for the past two years, we are excited to finally have high school students engaging in research on campus. Students are working with their mentors to define their research goals, learn new software, understand research procedures, and more. 28 students were selected out of many bright applicants from across the Boston area.

You’re seated at a table for lunch. Your hands are neatly folded in front of you. All around, your lunch-mates devour scraps off the floor. They will be eating with their feet, their spines, and even their anus. Is this a dream? Where are you? You’re with the echinoderms (EE – KY – NO – DERMS): sea stars, feather stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea lilies, and sand dollars.

The Canada World Youth Leadership Summit is an event where youth across Canada ages 18-25 can come together to build a community of ambitious learners and look towards the future. At this year’s conference in Saskatoon, STEM Minds led tech and entrepreneurship workshops to provide insight on STEM careers and how youth can transition their everyday tech activities from a hobby to a job.

People have long been fascinated with mushrooms. These unique organisms pop up in books, poems, paintings, and even video games (Super Mario Bros.). They are often depicted as magical and even named magical mushrooms. Apart from the typical umbrella-shaped varieties that we commonly see, mushrooms come in a variety of fascinating shapes and sizes.

Mathematics, a subject steeped in abstract concepts, often poses challenges to students, especially those in grades 5-10. But imagine a bridge that transformed this intricate maze into an interactive adventure.

At Kid Spark Education, we help schools and educational service providers disrupt the pattern of educational inequity by providing STEM kits and programming early and consistently for elementary school students. To bridge the opportunity gap for STEM learning, we align our curriculum with standards designed to help teach a love of STEM. One way we do that is by infusing the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) into our elementary and middle school curriculum.

Though women were once at the forefront of developing the disciplines of computer programming and software engineering (Berkeley School of Information, 2021), the computer science (CS) workforce in the US for the past three decades has become a field of mostly White and Asian men. In 2019, women made up 47% of the labor force, but only 27% of those in CS-related jobs.

Unexpected ways that paint prevents corrosion. Published: July 5, 2022. Our modern lifestyles depend on the material objects around us remaining strong and free from damage. Protective paints and coatings are effective at preventing corrosion damage, but how they do this – and how these mechanisms can be optimised – are less well understood. The sustainable coatings by rational design ( SusCoRD ) project connects materials science academics with commercial scientists to tackle these questions.

It is difficult to accept that the best learning road is slow and that doing poorly now is essential for better performance later. It is so deeply counterintuitive that it fools the learners themselves both about their own progress and their teachers’ skills.”. - David Epstein.
