Every year the National Schools Observatory welcomes students for a week-long residential work experience programme. Students can gain skills and experience plus an idea of how professional research is done at a university. The week consists of talks and workshops from university staff and students and culminates with students presenting their scientific research.

Icicles aren’t crystal clear, and neither are the physics that form them, Credit: Wikimedia/Bjørn Christian Tørrissen. Sunny mornings with freezing temperatures are an odd pair in winter. The effects of this pair are even weirder. Icicles are pointy ice shards that form on branches and wires or any edge when the sun melts ice or snow. Water drips down from an edge, and when it is cold enough these droplets refreeze, forming icicles.

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.

Coding is one of the most important skills children can learn. Apart from guiding children to a possible career in computer science, it teaches other things like logical thinking and problem-solving. The logic that coding follows is also closely related to math, which can help in an academic setting. . Learning to code at summer camp can set students up for success as they get an excellent education while having fun with their peers.

My students love a good lab and this one doesn’t disappoint. What makes it so great? It’s completely STUDENT directed! Oh…and the students get to stand on the lab stations- which they LOVE. I use this lab as an inquiry lab, meaning that my students conduct the lab BEFORE the lesson. This provides students with background knowledge of how blood behaves and makes for some really meaningful conversations during the lab and the lesson.

Do you have a child who excels in math or science? STEM camps allow children to explore potential career paths while learning important skills relevant to their fields of interest. Many parents send kids to camp each year due to the immense academic benefits they provide. There are both in-person and virtual camps, as well as day and sleepaway camps, all of which allow students to collaborate in teams, participate in decision making and practice their communication skills. .

This is a repost of from my new Subtack publication, Intentional Academia. I'll be posting there every other Monday with articles about how those of us in higher education might regain some control over our work, our commitments, and our attention in order to have time and energy to get what we want out of both work and life. This coming Monday, I'll be starting a reboot of the GTD for Academics series that was first published here.

Edison, NJ. Do you remember in 2018, when news networks talked about how the new Boeing 737 MAX was being grounded? Well, you might have heard that this was due to a mechanical fault in the plane. More specifically, this was due to flaws in the MCAS which was built into the 737 MAX. If you don't know what the MCAS is, or what it does, then this article brought to you by STEM-E will explain the system in its entirety, functions and flaws included.
