Influence Critical Thinking through the Engineering Design Process
Saturday January 25, 2025 8:55am - 10:10am CST
Immerse yourself in an Engineering Challenge and become the engineer! To influence our students from "learning" about science to "doing" science, we must practice and challenge our own critical thinking skills. This session will demonstrate the power of hands-on learning and its implications on knowledge building through real-world phenomena. Participants will gain insight to the Engineering Design Process and develop their understanding of the Scientific and Engineering Practices (SEPs) by becoming the learner. By engaging in this process, students will not only sharpen their problem-solving abilities but also develop the skills necessary for successful careers in the engineering field, where innovation and critical thinking are key to tackling complex challenges.

Houston ISD STEM Career Immersion Camp Experience: Powered by Science Mill
Saturday January 25, 2025 8:55am - 10:10am CST
Discover how the Science Mill curriculum bridges STEM education and career immersion, aligning seamlessly with CTE initiatives. This session will dive into why we chose Science Mill as a partner, the funding strategies that made it possible, and an overview of what a Science Mill Camp entails, presented by Science Mill experts. Learn about the "train-the-trainer" model for implementing the curriculum and how we pivoted from a summer camp to an in-class elective experience for a small group of students at Holland MS. We’ll also share our challenges, insights on student and teacher engagement, and the overall impact of this innovative STEM experience.
