Q3: Be critical of the system, not the child. How much intelligence and talent remains unrealized? What can we do to let ALL of our students know that they are capable, and to persist? #EinsteinFellows22

A2: Step 1: Be seen. Step 2: Be heard. Step 3. Advocate for change. Nb. Underlying subtext: Listen. Learn. Work. #EinsteinFellows22

Intro Answer: If I was going to sail around the world, my boat would be state-of-the-art, expertly-staffed, and blaze-orange. #EinsteinFellows22

A1: Effective integration of content-rich technology in STEM education requires PD, TIME, smaller class sizes, and teacher acknowledgement (implying supportive administrations). #EinsteinFellows22

A2: Teaching is an art that weaves together evidence and research in Learning *with* content and practices. In the STEAM classroom, consistently creating open-ended, collaborative, and relevant lessons is key. STAYING CURIOUS results in self-improvement. #EinsteinFellows22

A3: Successfully navigating career transitions in an ever-changing workforce landscape involves staying true to your personal mission, evolving through observation and listening, and following and sharing your joy. #EinsteinFellows22

Much like the winding fjords of Norway and the Mandelbrot set, the interactions of quarks and gluons give rise to the tiniest fractals in Nature: jets within jets within jets… Find out more! ➡️ cms.cern/news/fractal-t… #moriond

A1. STEM is constantly evolving, there is so much we don’t know! Teachers can show students this dynamism by explicitly pointing this out, and asking students for their ideas. Saying ‘I don’t know, does anyone have any ideas?’ reveals curiosity and community #EinsteinFellows22

A2. Merging subject matter has always elevated curiosity and creativity and LEARNING for myself and my students in Math, Physics and Biomedical Design! Start with ART! Include history, ethics, language arts, business, psychology, sociology, etc. - it’s fun. #EinsteinFellows22

A3. For students to connect with STEM professionals in and out of the classroom: put yourselves out there - asking peers, teachers, counselors, librarians, applying for internships, competing in STEM challenges, or sending an email and seeing what happens! #EinsteinFellows22

Why are the laws of nature the way they are? Why is there something rather than nothing? There is so much we don't know...here's the latest on WIMPs. arstechnica.com/science/2023/0… #EinsteinFellows22

For the friendships, the experiences, the learning, the opportunities of and for a lifetime - 'grateful' doesn't even begin to address it. #EinsteinFellows22

A1: Pre-algebra/Algebra in 8th/9th grade. When my adolescent brain and life was a bit tumultuous, I sought order. I fell in love with the objectiveness, patterned nature, sleuthing, and problem solving of MATH. It was my gateway drug to PHYSICS. #EinsteinFellows22

A2: Continuing to LEARN and LISTEN. Then "caring about something enough to do something about it. It's not just thinking, it's doing. It's not just praying, it is moving your feet.” -Stovall. I envision myself IN ACTION. #EinsteinFellows22

A3. WHO is doing the science determines WHAT science is being done!! The questioning, data-based (aware of bias!!), solutions-oriented, curious, hopeful and creative ways of thinking are not only nice, but vital in making our world joyful and well for ALL. #EinsteinFellows22

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to next year's #EinsteinFellows23! So excited to welcome you into the fold.

Love getting to meet the #EinsteinFellows22 in person! Vida Treviño (she/her) Tyler Dufrene, M.Ed. Laura Akesson

Absolutely loved getting to meet and hang with some of the AEF Program #EinsteinFellows22 while here at #ISTELive #ISTE2023 Laura Akesson Vida Treviño (she/her) Tyler Dufrene, M.Ed. @jenchildressak

Whoo! Thanks @jcampbellteach for joining us and jumping into the adventure!
