Laurie King

Gamifying learning can transform the classroom environment by making lessons more enjoyable and immersive. It boosts student motivation by providing instant feedback, creating a sense of achievement, and allowing for friendly competition. Gamified learning also encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving as students work through challenges together. It helps students develop perseverance and a growth mindset by promoting effort over outcomes. Aligning game objectives with learning goals, gamification helps reinforce content mastery in a fun and meaningful way.

How-To: Host a STEM Career Day

Laurie King

Words cannot fully relay the impact of a child seeing their parent or family member at school! Providing an event in which students can invite a family member to share out their career as it relates to STEM empowers all involved. Schools are reflecting the importance of STEM Education and family involvement, which gets the students excited to share with their family members the place in which they spend 70% of their week. Teachers can support the school-family bond by offering a welcoming environment in which families will begin to feel a sense of community.
