This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from November 2019, opens in Adobe Connect. STEM is a necessary component in all classrooms today. As educators, we need to find ways to reach all students and help them to better understand the topics within STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). In this session, we will share a few no-tech and low-tech STEM activities, for those educators with limited tech options or simply looking for a no-tech or low-tech STEM lesson. Management is key in any classroom, but when working in cooperative groups, it is imperative. During the session, we will reflect on the activity suggestions and discuss possible management concerns. Participants will: 1. Explore no-tech and low-tech STEM activities; 2. Understand the engineering design process; and 3. Plan for the integration of no and low-tech STEM activities in the classroom. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
