Event Details

Teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) can be intimidating if you do not have the expertise or curriculum to do so. Kenton County Schools have embraced STEM in the realm of renewable energy. NEED (National Energy Education) provides a background and curriculum that allows students to explore STEM concepts while thinking about energy and the environment, both of which are part of the normal science curriculum. Incorporating the kits into the classroom can be a bit challenging without the proper training and motivation.

This presentation will demonstrate why Kenton County uses renewable energy as a backdrop for STEM and how the district has implemented a plan that will expose all students to engineering design, inquiry, and engaging science.

 

Joe Chavez is the STEM Consultant for Kenton County School District. He is a former life science high school teacher and lab rat. His focus is to enhance the secondary science program by increasing engagement and getting more students involved in “doing” science. He is currently pursuing his Ed.D. in science education.
