- 22. Students should be problem-solvers, able to define questions and problems, design investigations to gather data, collect and organize data, draw conclusions, and then apply understanding to new and novel situations. Students should be innovators, creatively use science, mathematics and technology concepts and principles by applying them to the engineering process. Students should be inventors and recognize the needs of the world and creatively design, test, redesign, and then implement solutions. Students should be self-reliant, able to use initiative, and self motivation to set agendas, develop and gain self-confidence, and work within time specified time frames. Students should be logical thinkers, able to apply rational and logical thought processes of science, mathematics, and engineering design to innovation and invention. Students should be technologically literate, understand and explain the nature of technology, develop the skills needed, and and apply technology appropriately.
- 23. The first thing that dawned on me was, these sound like 21st Century Skills. Maybe STEM curriculum isn't that boring...yea right!
- 24. I like all of these words. Did I miss something in MS and HS? Or maybe...did my teachers miss something? So I decided to come up with a way to engage students in STEM classes.
- 25. What could I integrate into the curriculum to get kids excited about learning STEM curriculum?

We aren’t quite at a Six-Million Dollar Man level yet – but we’re getting awfully close. From physical therapy exoskeletons to new and improved forms of prosthetic attachments, science-minded individuals will be needed to help develop medical technology that is better, stronger, and faster than it ever was before. 2.Genetic Counselor As genetics continues to be fine-tuned, doctors will be able to run tests to predict all manner of markers and conditions. Genetic counselors have the job of helping families make decisions about their future children in regards to available genetic technologies. At the present, according to MSNBC, “about 2,000 counselors are recognized by the American Board of Genetic Counseling.” As technology improves and becomes more widespread, expect the need for counselors to grow right along with it. 4.Bioinformatician Whenever new terrain is charted, maps must be drafted to document and understand the new discoveries. Not only is this true in geography, but in biology as well. As genomic and molecular research continues to intensify over the years, the science community will need plenty of young bioinformatics majors to map, analyze, create 3-D models of and compare DNA and protein structures – hopefully resulting in better understanding and treatment of genetics in the future. 5.Stem Cell Researcher Stem cell research has been a controversial topic since the day it started gaining plausible ground, entrenched in a war of progress and ethics. Still, science finds a way. Already, researchers may have found an alternative to embryonic stem cells that may put the ethical battle to rest. If this is the case, more researchers than ever will be needed to develop cures for diseases, genetic enhancements, and whatever other secrets these cells may hold. 6.Custom Implant Organ Designer It wasn’t so long ago when organ transplants were the stuff of science-fiction novels. Now human ears are growing on mice for science, mouse brain cells are growing within robots for art, and the next wave of scientists are using gel-suspended cell cultures to draw custom-made organs for implants from scratch. When it comes to biomedical engineering, the sky is the limit, and young ingenious scientists are needed all the time to keep on searching for the next big breakthrough.

You already have an edge being 1 to 1 schools, but are you using your edge to the fullest? For those of you who are 2 to 1 or are thinking of moving to a 2 to 1? It is time to provide your students with the most enriching, engaging, exciting experience. Still debating? Still trying to figure out what these tools look like in the classroom?

Apps Elements, Dragon Dictation, Sparkvue, Numberline, NASA, Google Earth, iP83, Math Snacks, Bump, Dashcode, iWebKit, MobilAP SPARKvue brings real-time measurement, data visualization, and analysis to science education everywhere. Students can use the new PASPORT AirLink 2 Bluetooth interface to connect to over 70 PASCO sensors, measuring a wide range of phenomena, including pH, temperature, force, carbon dioxide level, and many more. SPARKvue is designed for scientific inquiry in biology, chemistry, earth science, environmental science, physics, and physical science. SPARKvue can also record data from the iPhone or iPod Touch's internal accelerometer, with no additional hardware needed. Features • Enables scientific inquiry anytime, anywhere • Build your own scientific explorations • Measure data in real time from PASCO's full line of PASPORT sensors with the PASPORT AirLink 2, or use the internal accelerometer • Display data in a graph, analog meter, or digital display • Collect up to 99 runs of data • Analyze data with built-in statistics • Export data via email for further investigation • Perfect for amusement park physics Even without PASCO sensors, you can use SPARKvue to collect data from the internal accelerometer in your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. With no external sensor connected, SPARKvue defaults to measuring the resultant acceleration from the internal accelerometer, but you can change the axis of measurement when you setup your experiment.
