The ARISS Experience: One School’s Current Journey through Multidisciplinary STEM and STEAM Education (Grades K-12)

My Session Status

When:

3:40 PM, Wednesday 26 Jun 2024 (1 hour 20 minutes)

Where:

The Center for Space Education - Room 7010

_{Speaking to an astronaut aboard the ISS is more than a radio and antenna - it’s a full STEM/STEAM experience using student-designed learning. From PE to the cafeteria, participants will experience, and receive, hands-on training to collaborate, design, and integrate multidisciplinary educational plans, including VR integration, for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) proposal.}

_{Participants are introduced to the basics of radio design and communication methods and will learn how the science of waves, communication, and logistics are within all facets of content areas including math, music, physical education, art, food, and technology. The comprehensive multidisciplinary learning materials and PBL chart will show participants how to connect software, hardware, research, and content together. In essence, ARISS is a gateway, to help bridge classroom learning, educator professional development, and disciplinary studies with the ambition of space exploration.}

_{By the end of the workshop, educators should feel confident in their ability to write an ARISS proposal, utilize a PBL chart, and guide students through the project by allowing students to create and experience a thorough understanding of both the technical aspects and the broader connections to space exploration through radio technology and communication.}
