TI STEM LABS Overview

TI STEM Lab

TI STEM Lab schools explore new integrative ways in math, science, computer science and engineering education. The network serves as platform to exchange practical experience on national and international level. Knowledge transfer happens in means of professional development and by dissemination of educational content.

Externat Notre Dame 46 Avenue Marcelin Berthelot 38100 Grenoble
Florent Girod
www.externatnotredame.fr/

Florent uses the TI STEM Technology with pupils who are about 14 years old. They are 24 by group and follow 8 or 9 courses of 1h30; they have two or three sessions to finalize a project of their choice, in this STEM Lab.

See the videos of some projects:

I have several purposes in my Lab. Mainly I aim for students to:
- realize that technology is all around us, in a lot of everyday life objects
- learn a programming language
- apply algorithmic notions
- lead a project by working with other pupils

Lycée Condorcet Allée Condorcet 78520 LIMAY
Boris Hanus
www.lycee-condorcet-paris.fr/
Boris Hanus involves 3 classes in Seconde and 2 classes in Terminale, where he is teaching the subjects ICN and ISN. The students work in groups to solve problems, by using coding and math concepts to arrive to the solution. " TI Rover should detect an obstacle and approach it until he is 10 cm from it" or "Program a path to go in the fastest way possible from point A to point B" are examples of starting points for the groups to discuss and develop the skills they need while learning the basics of coding and algorithms.
“With this type of activities students are engaged quickly in the learning process and problem solving is acquired naturally and intuitively”
Lycée Assomption Bellevue 172, Avenue Jean Jaurès 69007 LYON
Laurent Didier
www.assomption-bellevue.fr
Laurent Didier puts in practice a project approach to teach coding and algorithm to students in his STEM Lab.
Since we are working with TI-83 Premium CE, TI-Innovator™ Hub and Rover, we are using a project approach and pedagogy in our classes. This technology fits the expectations and goals of Lycée, as we can bring a concrete aspect to programming, and engage students in this topic.
Lcée d'Estienne d'Orves 13 avenue d'Estienne d'Orves Nice 06050
Eric Tixidor
web3.estiennedorves.net/
Eric Tixidor teaches in ISN (terminale) and ICN (seconde) and part of the curriculum is Robotics, Algorithms and coding languages.
“The class is divided in groups and the learning is approached in mini-projects. With these projects we have the opportunity to connect coding and go deeper in math concepts of the curriculum, increasing the complexity of projects step by step."

Lycée Professionnel Henri Senez Boulevard Darchicourt 62110 Hénin-Beaumont
Jérôme Lenoir

Our TI STEM Lab is in Lycée Professionnel to initiate the students to coding and engineering concepts, in an engaging way.

"What is important in today’s world is that math teaching is meaningful to students, thanks to tools that allow it in a fast way. Modeling situations from real life with TI-Innovator Rover, we allow students to see the correlation between math and physical sciences.”
Lycée Maryse Bastié 29 Rue Louis Amstrong 87100 Limoges
Jean-Louis Balas
www.lycee-maryse-bastie.fr/
Teaching in Lycée Professionnel, Jean-Louis Balas uses technology to solve real world problems connected with students realities and relevant for our community. "Our work is organized in groups where each works on a topic on a global project. We then put it all together providing the complete picture. A bit like we do in Industry"
TI Rover allows the creation of a conexion with real world and to make concrete conexions with algorithms. It allows to go beyond the curriculum and opens possibilities. It allows to make a connections with what happens in industrial robots, and that captivates students!
Lycée Descartes 1 Rue Lavoisier 92160 Antony
Vincent Bernigole
www.lyc-descartes-antony.ac-versailles.fr/
Vincent 's STEM Lab operates int he scope of ICN subject, in the 10th grade, where the students work in teams developing mini-projects, over a period of 8h. In Termnal S they develop mainly activities around robotics (mainly using TI Rover) over a period of 4 hours.
Our main goal is to develop student's autonomy while working with an complete and easy to use material.

www.clg-roydespagne.ac-aix-marseille.fr/spip/
Jean-Batiste Civet is passionate by robotics and new technologies, teaches mathematics courses and is responsible for the Science club of his school for the last 8 years.
“I would not like to go back to a programing teaching without TI-Innovator Hub and Rover. It is much more interesting and engaging to include robotics. It is more tangible and really ignites curiosity from the students.”

I strongly believe the future of education is tightly connected with our ability to motivate an engage students into learning STEM. I have always been interested in finding new ways to teach Math, and the TI STEM Lab is an opportunity to work with the Robotics club of my school, and other teachers to integrate the different topics.

In addition to working in the classroom context, under the national project of curricular flexibility and interdisciplinary articulation, we have a science club that is the main responsible for the dynamization of this project. We have planned a training on programming algorithm and robotics with TI Nspire to familiarize users with the system.
A team of 5 students participating in this STEM Lab won the Portuguese National contest on coding promoted by Universidade Nova de Lisboa with the project "Wheelchair". See more here from digital media library: DSC 2705

In our school we have a Edu-lab. Which is a classroom with all kinds of technical materials and are trying to make lessons and good practices for our colleagues. We also have a class called NLT (Nature, living and technology) where we teach integrated subjects as “International space station”, “Designing a pill container”, Navigation etc. Next year we will start a new subject in this class called “Technical HAVO”. In the younger classes we teach robotics.

We are teaching a new subject - Onderzoek en Ontwerp (research and design), which is a multidisciplinary subject of STEM. this is the perfect set-up for our TI STEM Lab.
You should see the eyes of the students when they see a calculator attached to Rover, driving and turning for obstacles. We have to use this excitement to bring them further in this STEM world!

At our open learning center STEM-lab we are specialized in robotics. Because robots in the future shall be more integrated in our lives we find it important that everyone gets a basic of knowledge of the relation between what the robot does and the science behind it.
The greatest benefit is the perfect integration between al the subject that are important in STEM education. You can easy have projects where the different disciplines all work together on a subject to solve a real world problem.

The TI STEM lab in our school will start in 2018/2019 school year in the Math/Science/Engineering department.
We will work with our students and TI-Nspire™ CX CAS STEM solution in Mathematics, in coding, for data collection in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
The advantage the TI STEM Lab is bringing us is that with this integrated approach we will have a hands-on learning experience and we can develop engaging activities with the students.

Primo-Levi-Gymnasium received the quality seal "Excellent Digital School" in 2018. Mirco Tewes together with his colleagues and supported by his principal leads the school to new levels of quality in regards of STEM education. From developing into T3 Science Center some years past and now being an important member of the TI STEM Lab network Mirco drives the development of his school with dedication and vision.
I congratulate the winning schools. Many schools are on an excellent path to not only see digital media as a substitute for previous analog media, but also to recognize and use the 'didactic value added'. Media literacy is taught across disciplines among teachers and students at today's award-winning schools, "says Education Senator Sandra Scheeres . See the press release

True Integration of STEM During Dutch-Portuguese Student Exchange

As a participant of the T³ Sharing Inspiration 2017 event, Portuguese teacher Raúl Aparício Gonçalves got inspired by the demonstrations of the robot car Rover. He decided to develop an international project for his students. In 2018, this led to the exchange between 30 students of the Dutch CSG Liudger and Portuguese Ermesinde High School.
