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:MA Science & Engineering Fair Seeking Volunteer Judges
DESCRIPTION:Every year thousands of students across the Commonwealth participate in science fair projects. MSEF is the non-profit organization that has proudly coordinated the State Fair since 1949. More than a competition\, students are thrilled with the experience of interacting with professionals and showcasing their work. Through the process students hone their critical thinking skills\, learn through both successes and failure\, and help solve local and global challenges. The Fair is the showcase\, celebrating both the journey and the project completion. \nWe are currently recruiting judges across STEM fields for the Massachusetts Science & Engineering Fair in May. Judging is virtual again this year with live\, scheduled interaction with students on our on-line platform. We are specifically looking for judges in engineering\, computer science and math on May 6th. \nOne of our partners recently shared her experience as a judge:  \nLast year I was a 1st time volunteer judge for the MSEF Science & Engineering Fair.  Being held remotely due to the virus I found the process MSEF put together for everyone was easy to use and about as close one could get to meeting in person as the interaction between the students and judges was seamless. It was amazing to see what the students could accomplish in both teams and individually while everyone was forced to work remotely.   \nAs an Engineer with many years of industry experience\, it’s both exciting and eye opening to see the variety of topics students are investigating and how they’re working together to accomplish project goals.  After looking through some of this years’ entries\, I’m starting to view my participation as a privilege for me to experience the future of STEM working at this level.  \nSee the flyer here\, feel free to share. \nPlease reach out to judginginfo@scifair.com with questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
