Teachers are Terrific

JULY 5, 2023

After a few years with upper elementary grades, I found myself in the midst of a new adventure – first and second-grade STEM! First graders love, love, love to talk about their projects. I had no idea if they could build a bridge with those wonky materials, but just look at this photo. Let’s just say this is a tad scary….But,

Engineering and the 5E Science Model Post by Michelle Bogden & Natasha Wilkerson February 22, 2023 Are you looking to add engineering to your science classroom? Most educators use the 5E learning model to teach science concepts. Can engineering design fit into 5E science units? Do not introduce vocabulary yet.

However, western science often ignores this traditional knowledge, marginalising Indigenous scientists and discouraging Indigenous students from pursuing careers in STEM. How does traditional knowledge inform western science? Why is traditional knowledge undervalued by western science?

An elaborate description of a wild idea. In the forty years I knew Ed Fredkin I heard countless wild ideas and colorful stories from him. But it also led him to the idea that the universe must be a giant cellular automaton—whose program he could invent. A long and colorful story. I’d politely ask for details.

As STEM educators and supporters of STEM schools, you work with the inventors of the future — your students. Anyone, at any age, can be an inventor and entrepreneur, so we have programs that impact pre-school-age kids through high school and college-level students, and adults.

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. For three hundred years the mathematical paradigm was the state of the art in theoretical science—and immense progress was made using it.

And as a kind of graduation gift when I finished (British) elementary school in June 1972 I arranged to get those books. But soon the summer was over, and I was at a new school , mostly away from my books, and doing things like diligently learning more Latin and Greek. The lambda hyperon. They all became my personal friends.

From projects that get completed within months of their conception, to projects that rely on years (and sometimes even decades) of systematic development. And all too often when I show people what’s possible, I’ll get the response “I had no idea the Wolfram Language could do that !” Our R&D portfolio is broad.

Makerspaces like vocational shops and science labs are great additions to schools. First, they may be out of budget for schools especially those serving lower income populations. The idea that students must be seated at desks working in rows is quickly becoming archaic.
