This document provides an overview of an upcoming workshop on incorporating inquiry-based learning into hands-on STEM labs. The workshop will give participants hands-on experience with tools for coding, robotics, circuitry, electronics, microcontrollers, augmented reality, and invention kits. It will also explore resources for creating inquiry-based classroom activities. The workshop aims to have students imagine, construct, create and innovate. Key aspects of STEM and maker education that will be covered include constructivism, creating rather than consuming, and fostering innovation.
A Makerspace Toolbox, Inquiry-Based STEM Labs
- 1. Getting Started with Inquiry- Based STEM Labs Are you ready for your students to imagine, construct, create, and innovate? Presented by: Susan Wells, Founder CEO TechTerra Education
- 2. Today is a nuts and bolts maker session of active learning incorporating inquiry based thinking into your hands-on STEM makerspace. You will have hands-on experience in this workshop with tangible and digital tools of the STEM Maker Lab to maximize exploring coding, robotics, circuitry and electronics, micro- controllers, augmented and virtual reality, and invention kits. Explore resources available for creating your own inquiry-based activities for your classroom.
- 3. Why STEM and Maker Ed? • Constructivism • Creating not Consuming • Innovation

- 5. Learning Today Not left brain or right brain but One Brain. Suggests Greg Watts, dean of the College of Visual Arts and Design at the University of North Texas Honoring 4’s Cs Creation Critical Thinking Collaboration Communication
- 6. Teaching Today Personalized Project-based Competency-based Student autonomy-focused Inquiry-based Driven more by a learner's questions than by a teacher's lessons. Teaching "how to learn" is more important than any particular information being presented.
