KS STARBASE: STEM Investigations 3 credits Instructor: Brent Mumford Grade Levels: 2-8 Tuition: $195 Delivery: On-Ground Instructor Fee: N/A Join us as we investigate all things STEM! Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. Building a foundation with our students in STEM will perhaps ignite an interest for a future career path. Assist and interact with our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders as they investigate Newton’s Laws of Motion, Building Blocks of Matter, Rocketry, Nanotechnology, Navigation and Mapping. Students will be captivated by engineering as they use the computer to design space stations, all-terrain vehicles, and submersibles during this hands-on, minds-on summer academy. Educators will engage with one another and with students, seeking opportunities to advance their professional abilities while supporting student interests and needs within a STEM learning environment. Team work is stressed as students work together to explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate concepts while investigating STEM education. Join us and expect to gather ideas to implement in your classroom related to STEM. Classes will be held on location at Kansas STARBASE and students will be required to attend from 8:30 pm-4:00 pm.
