STEAM Unleashed (Chris Clay)
In today’s exponentially accelerating knowledge age, teachers recognise the need to create practices that help students develop their own ideas as well as learn about the ideas of others. Whilst this is important across the curriculum it is vital in STEM subjects. STEM Unleashed empowers teachers to transform their classrooms into innovative incubators of awesomeness. You will learn to design challenges that help students build knowledge collaboratively; in the same way as scientists and open source technologists.

From designing powerful learning experiences to managing hands-on activities with students, we’ll look at both the theoretical and the practical, exploring a wide range of emerging technologies and ways to use them to create powerful learning.
