Call for Workshop Presenters

Friday 1 December 2017 | Australian Science and Mathematics School

The STEM (6-11) Conference will provide high-quality professional learning opportunities for middle school teachers and educators, in the field of mathematics, science, ICT and design & technology.

With program inputs from teachers from STEM professional associations, the event is designed to bring together teachers, educators and exhibitors who are interested in sharing and exploring tools, resources and related activities that will ensure successful implementation of STEM education into our schools and communities.

Some workshops will address the critical importance of connecting different areas of STEM by considering ways of interrelating science and/or mathematics topics using the tools of technology with engineering emerging through hands-on and real-life applications. Other workshops will address activities to support teaching and learning in more specific topics in the disciplines of mathematics, science, design & technology and ICT.

Workshop Presentations

The workshop presentations will cover a range of the content and pedagogies of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, Science, Design & Technology and ICT. Participants should be actively involved in the learning through a practical and investigative approach and sessions that link to real world examples of contemporary STEM are encouraged.

Possible workshop ideas include:

Hands-on activities for middle school maths, science, design & technology and ICT
Developing an engaging curriculum in the middle school for STEM subjects
Use of technologies in teaching and learning
Integrated units of work
Ways of motivating students to consider STEM in their future careers
Improving students confidence and experiences in STEM

Share your good ideas and submit a proposal for the STEM (6-11) Conference below by Friday 22 September 2017.
