Showcase Information and Schedule

Proudly sponsored by the National Science Foundation Noyce Promoting Inclusiveness Diversity in STEM Education (PRIDE) Teacher Scholar Program at Elmhurst University. This STEM teaching professional learning event is for all educators, PK-12.

Interact with STEM teachers, professors, and curriculum coordinators who will showcase best practices in STEM teaching. Learn new ideas to use in your own classroom. Come and be empowered!

Participants will attend presentations based on their individual STEM teaching interests:

  • Primary (PK- 3)
  • Intermediate/Middle School (4-8)
  • High School (9-12)

Each grade span will feature “Genius” STEM Presenters from local colleges/universities and PK-12 school districts who will share how they have engaged their students through STEM lessons, projects, demonstrations or units. Presenters were selected for their innovation, and high-quality content.

Sessions will be interactive and inspire best practices for culturally relevant pedagogy in STEM teaching and learning. Lesson ideas will incorporate the use of problem-solving, the arts, questioning, content-area literacy, hands-on activities, visual supports and collaborative inquiry.
