Afternoon Workshops
|
Workshop One - "Force and Motion" (FSU’s
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory) |
Description:
The change of
motion in a body is proportional to the force
applied and occurs in the direction of the line
of action of the applied force. In other words,
drop any two items (as long as neither one is
being acted upon by another force) from the same
height and they will reach the ground at the
same time. Join us as we explore the laws of
force and motion! |

|
Workshop Two - "Encouraging Enthusiasm for
Engineering Beyond the Classroom" (Society of
Women Engineers) |
Description:
Ever wanted to
know how you could share a bit of the exciting
world of engineering with your own students? The
Society of Women Engineers is here to show you
how by introducing a variety of tools to get
your students motivated to learn even MORE about
this amazing engineering career path and all of
the endless possibilities that await your
students to better this world for future
generations to come! |

|
Workshop Three - "Lean how to build a Robotic Arm in
your classroom." (Sean Denny, IEEE FWCS TISP
Chairman) |
Description:
The Robotic
Arm Workshop teaches teamwork with design in any
environment. Using basic accessible materials
the participants will design their own robot arm
to pick up a Styrofoam cup. It is suggested to
add variables like weight or distance. This has
been documented as the most downloaded activity
from the IEEE Educational Activities Website. |

|
Workshop Four - "FLATE Presentation" (Jodi
Sutton, FLATE Curriculum Coordinator, FLATE) |
Description:
Looking for a
GREAT way to teach your students how science,
technology, engineering and math affect their
lives every day? We have just what you need,
Made in Florida Learning Challenge (MIF
Challenges). MIF Challenges are classroom
materials designed to enrich STEM classes, by
providing students with “real-world” scenarios
relevant to manufacturers throughout Florida.
This workshop will go over the MIF Challenges,
how to implement them into your class and will
also focus on the diversity of careers involved
in designing and developing items that are Made
in Florida. |

Workshop Five - "How to participate in the
Engineer-Teacher Connection at UCF-CECS".
(Bruce Furino, Director, CECS Outreach, UCF) |
Description:
The CECS
Outreach Office will be discussing the plans for
the ETC project that will enable teachers and
engineers to connect using the system. This
project was funded by GE and involves engineers
from the Florida Engineering Society and other
engineering organizations. The focus is on
helping teachers bring engineering talent,
curricula and materials to the K12 classroom.
