Students need to learn engineering not because everyone needs to be an engineer, but because we need critical thinkers. @AZScienceTA #STEM – at Phoenix, AZ
A11 Improve #ScienceInstruction at the K-6 level to spark the natural curiosity all kids have about the natural world #REGeNSTEM
A10 Expose your kids to resources that cultivate their natural curiosity about the universe #REGeNSTEM
We are also grateful to @regeneron. They have been pivotal to getting the SLC started. #REGeNSTEM teapawt.net/WestchesterBiz/status/…
@Regeneron does a great job serving as mentors and role models! We have had a number of youth visit and intern with @regeneron! #regenstem

A7 Coursework is difficult & largely lecture based. Like K-12, college instruction must be inquiry based & relevant. #REGeNSTEM
A6 We use 60 ft. solar bags to demonstrate air density & pressure. Once a balloon floated a mile away & blocked traffic #REGeNSTEM
A5 #Technology is also a great way for students to communicate understanding #REGeNSTEM

A5 Best Practices only emerge as teachers struggle to find #STEMPD that relates #NGSS. We prefer #ProjectBasedInquiry w/ #tech #REGeNSTEM
