STEAM Ahead Australia and the Teachers’ Guild of New South Wales have partnered to deliver this workshop at Sydney's Concord Golf Club on Tuesday, 17 March 2020.
In this workshop, teachers will learn about the changes occurring in Australia as we shift from STEM-to-STE(A)M active learning environments. Visualise, plan and design STEAM frameworks suitable to use in your classrooms (K-12). Form collaborative networking groups with other like-minded colleagues to activate your imagination and building the next generation of 21st century thinkers. See below for more details.
Couldn't agree more about the synergy between critical and creative thinking. Often people treat them as opposites, but in a true STEAM environment, they are two sides of the same coin. Using design thinking to bridge that gap is key. I'm curious to see more of these frameworks in action—especially how we can better assess these 'soft' skills in a way that’s as tangible as a math score. Thanks for sharing these insights!
