The Smithsonian K-12 Science Education Action Planning Institute will be held online July 25-27, 2022. This institute will bring together educators, administrators, and education researchers to dive deeply into three crucial topics in STEM education:
Innovation - What does innovation look like in K-12 STEM education in 2022?
Inclusion - How do we meet the needs of our students and educators by elevating diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion (DEAI) in STEM education?
Sustainability - How can STEM Education for Sustainable Development (STEM4SD) prepare our students for a changing planet?
The Smithsonian Science Education Center will convene experts in each of these areas to explore actionable approaches, backed by research and best practices in science, engineering, and education.
Through this institute, participants will engage with the Smithsonian’s action planning process, and build out a plan to take action in their own context on one or all of these topics.
