STEM Education for Adults series with TAG Engineering
TAG Engineering will feature their second STEM Education for Adults topic in the series. The monthly meeting on February 23rd features Chad Norman & Terri Sligar presenting "Picasso Meets Einstein: Diversifying Engineering Education Through the Arts".
Chad Norman and Terri Sligar are teachers in the Mount Vernon School District, each with over 20 years of experience. Their instruction focuses on fostering understanding of Computer Science and Engineering through engaging and creative projects. Currently, they are working to develop progressive methods for teaching coding and engineering concepts using Arduino based microcontrollers. They have presented workshops and exhibits on this topic at multiple Northwest Council for Computers in Education (NCCE) conferences, Stanford University Graduate School of Education (Fablearn), Bay Area Maker Faire, Linuxfest, and ESD 189. Currently, one of their interactive physical computing projects, Magic Mandala, is on exhibit at the Pacific Science Center’s, “What is Reality” pavilion. Their business, Odyssey Board, has developed innovative hardware and curriculum to teach engineering by using an arts/project based approach. This Kinetic Sculpture/Physical Computing curriculum is currently being taught in numerous middle school and high school programs around the country.
