Expedition Mars Challenger Mission
Expedition Mars brings science to life, giving students the exciting opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to a real life scenario in our state-of-the-art simulated learning environment.

Through both project and problem-based learning, students taking part in the mission have to complete tasks to ensure success. At the same time, they may encounter emergencies or unexpected problems that require critical thinking and decision-making skills to find resolutions. Each student plays a part in the mission, interacts with at least one physical hands-on lab, and is responsible for finishing several tasks. Teamwork is crucial because if one member of the class fails to complete his or her job, the entire mission may be at risk.

Expedition Mars Challenger Mission
Expedition Mars brings science to life, giving students the exciting opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to a real life scenario in our state-of-the-art simulated learning environment.

Through both project and problem-based learning, students taking part in the mission have to complete tasks to ensure success. At the same time, they may encounter emergencies or unexpected problems that require critical thinking and decision-making skills to find resolutions. Each student plays a part in the mission, interacts with at least one physical hands-on lab, and is responsible for finishing several tasks. Teamwork is crucial because if one member of the class fails to complete his or her job, the entire mission may be at risk.

This is a private event with Milford Public Schools.

very own video game and controller. This project requires use of a tiny
computer called a Raspberry Pi and students  will create the game using a
programming language called Scratch to create their own video game. Finally,
students will also build their own video game controller using two
buttons. Once students  have completed all of these steps,
students can modify the game however they want, such as to make it more
complicated or more challenging! This is great way to have students 
explore technology, art, math, and science while strengthen their computer

Creative Learning Systems' PD Facilitator, Phil Mayhoffer, will provide a hands-on learning experience for educators. Educators will take on the role of learners to experience SmartLab Learning, a project framework that increases the capacity of students through engaged, active, and social problem solving. Educators will dig into how this framework provides students with opportunities to explore their interests and utilize technologies to make authentic connections, thereby becoming the drivers of their own learning. During our experience as learners, we will also discuss how the framework supports educators in the shift from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side,” holding students accountable for documenting their learning. Attendees will leave with strategies and resources to facilitate student-led learning in their own classrooms.

Expedition Mars Challenger Mission
Expedition Mars brings science to life, giving students the exciting opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to a real life scenario in our state-of-the-art simulated learning environment.

Through both project and problem-based learning, students taking part in the mission have to complete tasks to ensure success. At the same time, they may encounter emergencies or unexpected problems that require critical thinking and decision-making skills to find resolutions. Each student plays a part in the mission, interacts with at least one physical hands-on lab, and is responsible for finishing several tasks. Teamwork is crucial because if one member of the class fails to complete his or her job, the entire mission may be at risk.

Speak for the Trees Presentation at Jeremiah E. Burke High School
Speak for the Trees has created a summer youth engagement program, the Teen Urban Tree Corps (TUTC), to teach Boston teens about the important role that the urban forest plays in creating a livable and healthy city. Through training in tree identification and measurement, teens use their smartphones to map street trees. Through this program, youth become advocates and ambassadors for their urban trees. This educational program connects students to issues of urban ecology, environmental justice, and civic discourse. In this 30 minute presentation, Executive Director David Meshoulam, PhD, will outline the simple tools available to teach youth about trees and engage them in meaningful socio-scientific projects that promote a healthy urban environment and introduce them to the field of forestry and arboriculture.

Expedition Mars Challenger Mission
Expedition Mars brings science to life, giving students the exciting opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to a real life scenario in our state-of-the-art simulated learning environment.

Through both project and problem-based learning, students taking part in the mission have to complete tasks to ensure success. At the same time, they may encounter emergencies or unexpected problems that require critical thinking and decision-making skills to find resolutions. Each student plays a part in the mission, interacts with at least one physical hands-on lab, and is responsible for finishing several tasks. Teamwork is crucial because if one member of the class fails to complete his or her job, the entire mission may be at risk.

Towards developing a "roadmap" for artificial intelligence in K-12 education
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine learning, Big Data and ""deep learning"" are here to stay. How is this new technology going to affect K-12 education? How is this going to affect career technical education? Are there any differences in this process? As we know, the workforce is concerned about changes AI brings for the jobs and skill sets. How are educators preparing for these changes? STEM professionals/industry/tech companies are developing their ""road-maps"" for AI. Is there something that educators might be able to learn from their approaches? There are so many discussions about AI, so many ""pieces of the puzzle"" - but how we can put it all together? How can educators navigate their way? Let's discuss how we can start building a ""road map"" for Artificial Intelligence in K-12 education and career technical education.
