STEMucation Academy
STEMucation Academy is an online professional development course designed to help K-12 mathematics and science teachers (K-12) integrate engineering process learning into their classroom.
This 16-week self-directed online workshop is uniquely suited for teachers who would like to learn how to implement a challenge-based learning methodology with an integrated engineering design process into their classrooms. Participants are trained to use engineering as a "context" to teach any standards-based "content" in a manner that engages students through the unit implementation. Upon completion, teachers obtain 45 contact hours of participation. Graduate credits may be purchased through Ashland University.
