4. Why You Should Teach Space
7/17/2020
Show Summary:
Space exploration can be an effective lens to teach and inspire kids in STEM education. From connecting to the exciting space missions in current events, to showing how your students could contribute to advancing the human race, space is something that everyone can relate to. Share these events and connect your science concepts and engineering design challenges to space exploration with your students to set the stage for true engagement and to give them a glimpse of the heights that STEM education can take them.
Not sure how to teach your subject matter or standards through the lens of space? We are challenging you to reach out to us with a topic you teach and we will help you connect it to space exploration! Email us at info@vivifystem.com or connect with us on social media through direct message or even use #connectmetospace on a post. We think everything can be taught with a space connection and we’d love to show you how!
