I attended this conference last fall and found it immediately useful and relevant for my teaching. Great activities related to design thinking, engineering, science, alternative assessments and all sorts of hands-on projects.    Funded by the Department of Defense, Cyber-REACH (Research Education Adventures for Community College and High School Students) will provide a basis of knowledge in deep-learning, machine-learning, and cybersecurity research. In summary, ~50 high school teachers who will each invite four students to participate in the following activities. Now accepting registration for a second cohort of teachers.
Program Expectations:
Teachers will be eligible for stipends between $360 and $600 depending on the number of participants. Suggested student pre-requisites: *Students should have successfully completed or are in the process of completing an introductory CS course, such as CS Discoveries or AP CSP. *Students should have basic programming skills, ideally in Python. Although students can learn Python while they are practicing the labs or after the initial workshops. *We recommend that students know some basic Linux commands, but again this is something that students can learn after the workshops. You may direct any questions to Christine Liebe, Ph.D., [email protected]  The National Fluid Power Association offers annual $500 grants for teachers to purchase materials for their classes to learn about Fluid Power and/or participate in the Fluid Power Action Challenge. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
 $10 Virtual Workshops are back!! Our partners at the CREATE Center were so happy with the results of the first round of KidWind Virtual Workshops they have come back and funded a pile more educator scholarships.
If you are a 6-12th grade science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) teacher use the coupon code, CREATE2021, and it will reduce your registration fee to ONLY $10! That saves you $140! These 6-hour fully virtual workshops are hands-on and focus on delivering just enough content knowledge to get going, as well as a wide variety of practical activities for your classroom. If you manage to take attend and complete all three of workshops - Energy & The Power Grid, Wind Energy Fundamentals and Solar Energy Fundamentals and attend an educators webinar on successful implementation you will receive $200 in bonus gear that you get to choose! No prior energy knowledge is needed to attend these workshops. All participants receive a box of materials before each workshop that will allow them to explore the lessons.
