Among an evolving array of high school subjects, career pathways and teacher licensure areas, opportunities continue to exist for Technology Education teachers to become fully licensed teachers in Career & Technical funded programs though pathway options at several Ohio universities. This session will discuss the current state of these options and possible changes in the near future.

Are you looking for free, high-quality resources that your students can use to research STEM topics or to informational texts on STEM subjects? Look no further than INFOhio, Ohio's PreK-12 digital library. Explore tools like Science Online, Science Reference Center, or ISearch that contain experiments, diagrams, and informational texts on science, technology, and math topics. Find STEM-related videos in the Digital Video Collection. Learn how to put all these resources together with INFOhio curriculum support tools so that you can seamlessly integrate STEM concepts into your curriculum.

In order to help out new teachers or just give other STEM teachers new projects to think about, I would like to present a number of "One Day Builds" that I use in my classroom to give my students a "hands on" STEM lesson as often as possible. The presentation will involve a presentation of multiple challenge assignments that can be used in most every classroom (7-12 grade) as well as a large scale, hands-on demonstration of how to run one of these lessons.

Participants will have an opportunity to explore elementary STEM resources first hand. Inexpensive robots, construction materials, curricula, websites, and free standards-based lessons will be available. A short presentation will give a brief overview of the different resources.

This hands-on workshop is for educators getting started with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3. You will learn how to use the MINDSTORMS® software and basic programming blocks to create simple logic structures and robot actions. Using the new tablet options to quickly program, your robot will be exploring the room as you use logical thinking and the scientific method just like your students will do. We have the robots and tablets, stop by and see how simple and fun robotics can be.

During this session, ways to integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education through project-based learning (PBL) will be discussed using examples of green screen video production, ePortfolios, transmedia QR code interactive posters, virtual field trips, and a straw tower project. To support and mentor Middle Childhood Education preservice teachers at The Ohio State University, integrating STEM education and PBL into the curriculum were modeled in a media literacy course by the instructor, who is also a supervisor for seven of the preservice teachers. The instructor/supervisor and one of the preservice teachers will share experiences, successes, and lessons learned. Ongoing mentoring and strategies used by the preservice teacher to integrate STEM education through PBL into his 8th grade ELA classes during student teaching at an urban middle school will be highlighted.

Rather than lead your audience in a step-like manner, why not give them more control over the sequence of your presentation? If the group is interested in one or two aspects of your presentation, why should you lead them through four or five others? A nonlinear approach gives you the potential to respond to audience needs by altering your presentation to match those needs. With a nonlinear approach, you can assess audience clues, cues, and questions to move the presentation into more fertile and relevant topics. Bring your Mac and see how fun and easy this can be!

This presentation will introduce you to a quick one - two day lesson on the engineering design process. You will walk through the process to solve an easy problem. The handout you will get will help you when you go back to the classroom and want to have your students solve a problem you come up with.

An overview of the history of additive manufacturing and the different technologies which are often lumped together under the title of 3D printing. Included in this presentation will be a functional demonstration the slicer software used for of fused filament printing one of the more common 3D print technologies using the Fablicator 3D printer. Comparisons to other 3D print technologies will be made as well as how they generally compare to other 3D print technologies on the market. Plus a very general comparison of the type and level of equipment in this section of 3D printing and their trade off’s
