FunWorks: Inspiring Students to pursue Math and Science Careers!
Motivate your students to consider careers in math and science! The FunWorks
is a digital resource library designed to encourage middle school students
to explore math and science careers by showing how these subjects, often
perceived as "geeky," have real-world connections in art, games, music,
sports, and other things that interest kids. What does physics have to do
with how Venus Williams holds her tennis racket? What does designing video
games have to do with ratios and proportions in algebra?
The Funworks was designed by, for and with youth. Over 400 young people
around the country participated in the design and development of the site,
including an 8 member youth co-design team.
Join Sarita Nair-Pillai, Project Director at the Education Development
Center and learn how to incorporate FunWorks into your curricula in ways
that will engage and inspire your students.
This seminar is designed for teachers of grades 6-9.
