NASA STEM Online Educator Webinars
The NASA STEM Educator Professional Development Collaborative (EPDC) is presenting a series of webinars open to all educators. All pre-service, K-12, and informal educators, as well as university faculty, are invited to join NASA education specialists to learn about NASA missions, activities, lesson plans, educator guides, and online resources that integrate NASA and STEM into the classroom.
An upcoming webinar, "Teachers Connect: NASA LaRC 100 Webinar" is geared toward educators in 6-8. This webinar will be presented on Tuesday, 25 April, at 4:00 p.m. (ET). This webinar will focus for the first half-hour on clouds and their role in the Earth's Energy Budget and implementation ideas using GLOBE for different types of classroom settings (Earth Right Now: LaRC 100th digital badge). The second half-hour will focus on the engineering design process using the Drag Race to Mars Engineering Design Challenge (Journey to Mars: LaRC 100th digital badge). The last half-hour will focus on forces and motion and math calculations using paper airplanes and testing different materials (Aeronautics: LaRC 100th digital badge).
This webinar meets requirements of teacher discussions within the NASA Langley 100th EPDC digital badges. Teachers working on each different badge can join at the specific half hour portion appropriate for them. Educators that complete all three Langley 100th Digital Badges will earn a physical badge as part of NASA Langley's centennial celebration.
