Ensure the vital competitiveness of your students by becoming an expert

educator in integrating technology and engineering (the T&E of STEM) by
earning your Master’s degree ONLINE.
This 100% online program will enhance your ability to prepare your students with a conceptual understanding
of technology and its place in society:

• Dedicated, world-class faculty • Asynchronous program with flexible learning

• No residency requirement • Competitive tuition
• 31 credits

The National Academy of Engineering developed an action plan to address the “technology” and “education”
components of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) with representatives from business,
government and education to address growing employment demands.
Strengthen the “T&E” pipeline to address the looming shortage of talent prepared to enter these careers.
Prepare your students by being the best.

When: Thursday, March 15, 11:00am–11:50am AND Friday, March 16, 11:00am–11:50am
Where: LBCC, Room 103A
What: In this session, participants will see how easy it is to design in 3D and to prepare students for careers in technology fields.
SolidWorks teaches students the math and science behind the things that they design, use, and buy every day, making it the
perfect tool for reinforcing technology and engineering concepts. Free student licenses, curriculum, instructor resources, and
certification exams make SolidWorks an incredible value for educational institutions at all levels. Come see why over one mil-

Exciting Video Game Design – STEM Curriculum Makes Teaching and Learning FUN and EASY!
When: Thursday, March 15, 12:45pm–1:35pm
Where: LBCC, Room 103A
What: Adding video game design to your Technology, Engineering, and STEM classes is now painless and easy. Student demand for
these interactive and engaging classes is already astronomical and accelerating. Create online games or compile as apps for
iPhone® and iPad® and more.

No need to learn a complicated computer language! See how easy, point-and-click software creates professional quality
games while delivering the basics of computer logic and programming. Gone are the frustrations of syntax and keyboard-
ing errors. Teachers love not having to debug errors and the authentic learning that comes with student success. The entire
curriculum, including textbook, software, games, lessons, extension activities, and more, is provided in either printed or online
formats.

Teachers find the fully scoped-and-sequenced curriculum easy to use and implement, with Teacher Does/Student Does for
each day. You will delight in seeing students enjoy learning the computer, math, science, and language arts skills needed to
build and create video games. Common Core States Standards Initiative topics displayed as STEM integration lessons are fea-
tures that help make learning come to life for students. This “learn by doing” model allows easy learning and complete under-
standing. Students are engaged and want to learn! Fun and easy lessons take students from beginner to expert through skill
escalation and scaffolding. PC or Mac!

When: Thursday, March 15, 12:45pm–1:35pm
Where: LBCC, Room 103C
What: The STEM Academy is a national nonprofit-status organization dedicated to improving STEM literacy for all students. We repre-
sent a recognized national next-generation, high-impact academic model. The practices, strategies, and programming are built
upon a foundation of identified national best practices that are designed to improve under-represented minority and low-

When: Thursday, March 15, 2:15pm–3:05pm
Where: LBCC, Room 103A
What: CareerSafe is the National Youth Safety Initiative; it is a Federal OSHA 10-Hour training program that provides secondary and
post-secondary students a chance to earn their Federal OSHA 10-Hour cards through our unique youth-2-youth, web-based
training course. The Federal OSHA 10-Hour card is an industry recognized and, in some states (MO, NV, CT, MA, RI, NH, and NY),
required certification.

As the National Youth Safety Initiative, we have trained over 300,000 students nationwide on Federal OSHA Standards and
Regulations; numerous State Departments of Education have turned to CareerSafe to provide Federal OSHA training to all of
their CTE students and teachers.

Where: LBCC, Room 103B
What: WHITEBOX LEARNING is a complete standards-based STEM learning system where students can test their own STEM theories
on real 3D “virtual” models before building their physical models. As the world’s only truly “cloud”-based 3D engineering STEM
learning system, our STEM units include: Dragster 2.0, Structures 2.0, Green Car 2.0, Flight 2.0, and Rockets 2.0. Each unit allows
students to research, engineer, analyze, and test (simulate) their designs, and compete “virtually” 24/7, all around the world…
how cool is that?! (PLTW GTT teachers, please find Green Car 2.0 in the PLTW Purchase Manual, GTT Workbook, in the Science

Where: LBCC, Room 103C
What: Are you looking for new ways to engage your students? Reimagine your classroom with interactive projects leverging the Digi-
tal STEAM Workshop. Teachers will learn how to implement one of the new projects in their classroom using software and the
Design Thinking Process videos, which feature industry professionals who detail the creative process that they used to com-
plete the project. The learning objectives for this workshop include: an overview of how to bring current industry trends into
any classroom; new teaching techniques using storytelling, video, and real-time 3D; and easy implementation of technology-
based projects without being a software expert.
