The Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) invites you to the annual LEGO® Engineering Symposium, May 24-26, at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
The LEGO Engineering Symposium aims to bring together educators who want to explore using the LEGO MINDSTORMS® robotics system to teach STEM concepts. This year's symposium theme is "Pushing the envelope of STEM Learning."
Speakers will include researchers in science education, leading K-12 teachers, maverick MINDSTORMS users, and other folks pushing the boundaries of technologies for supporting STEM education.
We will be offering six development labs this year, including:
- Seeing the Science/Engineering in Children's Thinking
- Integrating Engineering & Literacy
- SAM (Stop Action Movie Making)- Tools for Children to Create Representation of their Ideas
- LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS- The Next Generation of Programming
- Supporting the Development of Engineering Design Skills K-12
- Physics Glasses: Augmented Reality and Other Fun Things with Image Analysis
Development labs are an opportuntiy for participants to learn, discuss, and generate ideas. They differ from traditional workshops in the fact that participants spend time discussing and developing ideas that can facilitate classroom practice as well as product development.
This year we are asking participants to preselect the development labs they wish to participate in so that we can better plan materials and resources. All development labs will share an overview of their activities and findings on the final day of the conference.
Registration is now open! Space is limited to 100 participants and is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Deadline to register is Friday, May 13.
Hope to see you there!
