In this episode of the Digital Learning Today Podcast, Jeff welcomes Dr. Christine Cunningham, Senior Vice President of STEM Learning at the Museum of Science, Boston to discuss how educators and parents worldwide can use their new YES STEM Curriculum in their classrooms! If you are a new listener to TeacherCast, we would love to hear from you.  Please visit our Contact Page and let us know how we can help you today! In This Episode … STEM is for everyone/every student—YES applies a new model for equity-oriented and socially engaged engineering learning developed by the Museum's education division, encouraging all children to see themselves as engineers and passionate problem solvers poised to make a difference in the world. YES units situate every lesson in a societal context, spurring students to consider the impacts of both scientific problems and engineered solutions on different individuals, groups, and systems. Learners are encouraged to value diverse approaches and reflect on the social, environmental, and ethical implications of their proposed designs. Youth Engineering Solutions (YES) is the newest engineering and STEM program from the award-winning PreK-12 education division of the Museum of Science. It builds on 20 years of work by the Museum's highly successful Engineering is Elementary (EiE®), which currently reaches 4 million youth every year in all 50 states and more than 30 countries. The YES Professional Learning Team provides invaluable support for educators looking to learn more about teaching STEM. As part of the Museum's Year of the Earthshot, a yearlong exploration of climate action and sustainable solutions, new YES and EiE curricula empower kids to confront climate change.

Todd starts off by questioning JT on what Communicore actually means. We go through the things that Communicore would actually do: have a conversation with a computer, contribute to polls with your opinion, see what a space shuttle is like and check travel destinations, just to name a few.We discuss the original plans, a Wedway Peoplemover running along an outer edge and some other scrapped ideas. New technologies were sort of the push here, allowing companies both small and large to come and go with their latest and greatest. The open floor plan and easy to Compute-A-Coasternavigate area added to the feeling of the space you did not get with Innoventions.Each attraction and area is discussed in detail during this episode. We learn about creating a wire frame roller coaster, the DARYL featured EPCOT computer system, SMRT-1 and tons more.

STEMxm Episode 16-  Dream Big Film | DiscoverE | Bridges to Prosperity Who was on the episode: Avery Bang trained as a geo-technical engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder before joining Bridges to Prosperity where she now serves as Executive Director. Bridges to Prosperity is a non-profit organization that builds cable-stayed pedestrian bridges throughout the developing world. With design, program development and construction experience in nearly a dozen countries, she has more than doubled the size of the operation. When describing what she does, Avery asks people to imagine what it would have been like for them to get to their elementary school if the infrastructure they had—bridges, roads, etc—didn’t exist. She explains that she helps people in the developing world build projects that many people often take for granted. Menzer Pehlivan is a geotechnical engineer specializing in earthquake engineering. Named one of the “2016 New Faces of Engineering” by the American Society of Civil Engineers, Menzer was inspired to build more resilient communities and reduce the risk associated with earthquakes following the 1999 Kocaeli Earth- quake in Turkey,which she experienced as a young girl. She received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013 and has worked on numerous geotechnical and earthquake projects in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. She currently works as a geotechnical engineer on critical infrastructure projects at CH2M in Seattle. Thea Sahr is an award-winning producer of national education outreach initiatives and messaging campaigns for multimedia projects. She has over 25 years experience at such organizations as the Museum of Science (Boston), WGBH Educational Foundation, and am now at DiscoverE. She has been a successful team leader and creator of evergreen resources that teach science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts. She focuses, in particular, on dispelling stereotypes about engineering and science, and encouraging girls and minorities to pursue STEM education and careers.   Places to connect if you’d like to get an engineer to come speak in your classroom (keep in mind, most of these organizations have local chapters, so the national organization should be able to put you in touch with the local chapter if you don’t find them with a google search…): American Society of Civil Engineers American Society of Mechanical Engineers Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers American Institute of Chemical Engineers   STEMxm is available on iTunes & Stitcher:
