The Cyber Innovation Center is working with Louisiana Tech University and Bossier Parish Community College to design a fully integrated, 21st Century high school curriculum. These courses will not only engage students through project-based learning and technology, but will also help students make the connection between STEM concepts and real-world application.
In addition, these courses will focus on providing students with a sound understanding of the fundamentals. Courses will fully integrate STEM concepts, 21stCentury skills (problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, communication, etc.), and technology. All courses are being designed using proven models that include NASA Threads and programs funded by the Department of Education and the National Science Foundation.
WORKSHOP: STEM Threads – Cyber Science
July 19-22, 2011 at Louisiana Tech University
Louisiana Tech University and the Cyber Innovation Center have developed an innovative, project-based course that integrates STEM disciplines, 21st Century skills, and Liberal Arts concepts through robotics. This course does not have a textbook; rather, students use a Parallax Boe-Bot® to learn important concepts and fundamentals. This course was designed for 9th-12th graders of diverse capabilities and backgrounds.
All participants receive a comprehensive professional development experience; hands-on, context-based professional development; a Parallax Boe-Bot®, course lesson plans; course master notes; course homework assignments; and mentoring from University faculty.
