Integrative Teaching Using Muscle Wire

May

Location: Multipurpose Centre in Alma, NB
Web site: laura.lamey@nbed.nb.ca
Rob Gorbet is the presenter for this hands-on High School Council Institute.
It has become clear that designing solutions to the important problems that face humanity will require training the next generation of problem-solvers to think effectively without regard to disciplinary boundaries. Education at all levels needs to be less siloed, and prepare students to see connections where they haven't before.
Teachers will use simple kits to explore creative representation of phenomena from the Arts and Sciences. We'll make and share our creations, while learning about shape memory alloys and talking about creativity, collaboration and integrative teaching. Participating teachers will receive muscle wire level kits to use in their classroom.
To register email Laura Lamey.
