This course is designed to enhance teacher candidates' capacities to create authentic STEM activities using project-based and inquiry-based learning principles. In addition, teacher candidates will learn how to integrate STEM with other disciplines, such as social studies and the arts. Teacher candidates will have opportunities to explore STEM education in various settings and contexts, including nature walks, maker spaces, coding, space exploration, and theatre. Moreover, students will develop the ability to create culturally responsive activities that address various forms of diversity and inclusion, such as cultural and linguistic diversity, Indigenous education, 2SLGBTQ+ issues, and critical disability studies. The course will also explore the creation of authentic assessments within the context of STEM education.
