SUMMARY:Engineering Workshop and Mentoring Program
DESCRIPTION:Offered by PATHS partner Massachusetts Science and Engineering Fair (MSEF) \nFor: Middle School and High School Teachers  \nFall 2022  (Register now for a fall workshop\, specific dates TBD -please ignore dates and times for event listing) \nJoin MSEF staff and collaborating teachers to dive into best practices to support student investigations using a real-world example to launch student-led independent science fair projects\, with a focus on the engineering process. The workshop will progress from ideation and research\, planning and prototypes\, testing\, to communicating results and significance. Videos\, articles\, and primary sources will be available from STEM professionals to aid investigations and demonstrate practical applications of STEM. Grade-band specific materials will provide teachers with actionable tools for implementation in the fall.  \nMSEF will connect teachers with mentors and each other through an on-line Google Classroom platform of 1 introductory module and 4 interactive modules featuring:  \n\n tools to use in your classroom \n case-study to practice implementation \n on-line discussion \n webinars (watch live or recorded) \n mentoring sessions (synchronous and asynchronous) \n\nPDPs for 20 workshop hours provided in partnership with STEMTeachers MassBay upon completion of the workshop. There will be 1 introductory and 4 interactive modules with two assignments per module. Each interactive module will involve 5 hours of engagement.  \nThis program is free of charge to teachers.  \nStipends are also available through funding from UMASS Boston as part of the NASA funded PATHS program to reach students historically underrepresented in STEM–specifically Black\, Latinx and Indigenous students.  \nCo-Facilitators:  \nSarah Kazmi\, Al-Noor Academy  \nKevin Crowthers\, Mass Academy of Math and Science  \nRebekah Stendahl\, MSEF  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:JP Rocketeers to host public rocket launch during STEM week
DESCRIPTION:Come see what model rocketry is all about!\nIn celebration of Mass STEM week\, the JP Rocketeers\, in collaboration with New England Sci-Tech (www.nescitech.org) will be holding an intro/ demo model rocketry launch in Acton\, MA on Friday October 21 from roughly 3:30 to 5:30pm. You are cordially invited\, and please feel free to extend an invitation to anyone else who may be interested. The address is 343-347 School Street\, Acton 01720.\n\nThis informal outdoor program is designed specifically for those who have had little or no exposure to model rocketry\, or those who have some experience but seek guidance and information about how to progress as a model rocketeer. Our goal with this public demo launch is to introduce newcomers to the exciting world of model rocketry\, which has provided generations of young people with the thrill of building and launching (and with experience\, designing!) your very own rocket. Countless students who were exposed to model rocketry as kids go on to become aerospace engineers\, mathematicians\, physicists\, astronomers\, and other specialists in STEM fields. The fact that MIT has its own rocketry team speaks to the relevance of model rocketry in the field of engineering.\n\nWeather permitting\, we plan to launch a variety of rockets (in terms of size and design)\, with different recovery systems\, including parachute\, streamer\, glider\, and spin. We will provide an overview of materials and glues used for construction\, how a rocket is prepped for launch\, and safety procedures. Depending on the number of participants\, we will attempt to let attendees help launch some of our rockets.\n\nPlease RSVP to David at muse3@comcast.net\, and feel free to contact him prior to the event with any questions or concerns you may have. Many thanks for your interest! there is no cost for this event.
