The Idaho STEM Action Center continues to strongly support the continued growth of Computer Science education in Idaho. Each summer there are six i-STEM Project Based Learning workshops funded by the Idaho STEM Action Center across the state.
 
"i-STEM is a summer professional development opportunity for educators (PK-12) working in both classroom and informal settings. During the Institute, participants attend a strand on project-based, hands-on learning in a chosen content area, as well as general sessions tied to the Institute theme. Strand topics vary by location and can be accessed at the Institute links below in January 2024. Each participant will receive a kit of instructional materials unique to their strand, so that they can implement what they have learned in their own teaching environments." https://stem.idaho.gov/istem/

Full Story

The Idaho STEM Action Center continues to strongly support the continued growth of Computer Science education in Idaho. Each summer there are six i-STEM Project Based Learning workshops funded by the Idaho STEM Action Center across the state in Nampa, Coeur d' Alene, Lewiston, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Pocatello. These multi-day long learning events align STEM content with standards within a hands-on, project-based framework providing hundreds of classroom teachers with new technology tools and pedagogical materials for the upcoming school year. Check out the webpage for up-to-date information on these events, as well as to access some important Computer Science documents and plans (at the bottom of the page).
 
Opportunity Goals & Objectives:
To empower Idaho educators to gain STEM content knowledge and pedagogical skills, and to build local communities of learning to increase student excitement for and interest in STEM.
