Meaningful Student Engagement through Hands-on Learning and Mentors is a four-part webinar series offered through Infosys Foundation USA’s Pathfinders Online Institute, covering:
The foundations of experiential learning, including maker-centered learning
Leveraging career mentors from your community to build Social Emotional Learning
Developing meaningful student work products and sharing remote learning tools
Technology that can support your pedagogical practices
This series will help frontline educators, either new to experiential and maker-centered learning, or seasoned educators continue to develop their skills and enhance their best practices. While the series will have practical applications for multiple grade levels, our primary focus will be on 5th–8th grade educators.
Part three is Developing Meaningful Student Work during Remote Learning. If you find you’re ready to employ maker-centered learning for authentic and meaningful engagement in your classroom, this webinar will be perfect for you. This session will offer real-world examples from the Makers + Mentors Network Fellows who are working at education sites throughout the country.
Maggie Crum from the Northern Kentucky Makerspace will discuss how she and her group were able to deliver over 1,000 STEM kits and support the activities with engaging videos for different grade levels.
