JMU’s Center for Sustainable Energy (CASE) promotes the understanding of renewable energy through educational outreach activities. This session will focus on capturing wind energy, converting wind energy into electricity, and inspiring youth to maximize the energy output of a wind turbine by participating in a KidWind Wind Challenge event. Attendees will explore numerous hands-on activities which integrate STEM strategies with leveled reading materials. The KidWind Challenge will also be explored and starter kits will be available for teachers that register to coach a team. Additional raffle prizes will be awarded.
Before we open our baskets, we will discuss the design cycle. We will define our goal for our design challenge, then we will open up our baskets to see the "must-use" ingredients. Other "pantry" items will be available. Participants will make a plan then implement their plan. We will end the session with sharing our projects and selecting the Chopped Champion. No cash prizes just bragging rights.
Join us for a fast-paced, game show-style session combining engaging routines and educational tech tools. Design products, uncover AI's potential, and leave with new ideas to implement. Let's innovate together!

Just like in teaching, a one-size-fits-all approach just won't work for every situation. In this interactive session, you will experience how technology and Universal Design for Learning can go hand in hand to meet the needs of all learners in the elementary classroom. We will dive into the UDL Core Beliefs and Design Process, exploring the technology tools that can support out students' learning.
