Virginia Digital Shipbuilding Program's (VDSP's) STEM Ahoy! Workshop
Amidst closures of schools, after-school programs, and outreach educational efforts due to COVID-19, VDSP produced and held the STEM Ahoy! Workshop series to provide students evidenced-based STEM practices and free resources.
DIGITAL SHIPBUILDING'S STEM AHOY! WORKSHOP
Amidst closures of schools, after-school programs, and outreach educational efforts due to COVID-19, STEM Ahoy! is the answer to providing evidenced-based STEM practices with FREE resources!
The weekly series, courtesy of the Digital Shipbuilding program housed at ODU-VMASC, will provide opportunities for virtual education outreach for teachers, students, and families focused primarily between ages K-8th grade, however all ages are welcome! STEM Ahoy! features a new engineering design challenge video each week and will include FREE resources: book connection/read aloud, educational correlations, activity directions/procedure, background information, extension activities, and STEM career pathways relating to the activity. The weekly engineering design challenge and all resources will be live every Thursday, beginning April 23rd and will run through June 11th.
Guest hosts will pop in for additional STEM fun! Several local and national school divisions are using STEM Ahoy! as a component of new learning initiatives during school closures, with partnerships growing to over 23 states! Participants who snap pictures completing the challenges, and tag @VMASCODU and @VMASC_dship on social media platforms, will be entered into a drawing to win STEM technology prizes!
Tune in or you’ll walk the plank!
