Webinar - How Pennsylvania Schools Can Build High Impact K12 STEM Programs

At NextWaveSTEM®, each course includes 15+, 1-hour lessons with equipment kits aligned or supported by standards from CSTA, Common Core, ISTE, P21, and relevant state standards from Illinois, Florida, Texas, New York, California and more all available in English and Spanish!

How can schools build strong and aligned STEM programs? This webinar explains how robotics, drones, AI literacy, sustainability, and digital design can support hands on STEM learning from kindergarten through high school. It also answers a key question districts often ask: how can technology instruction fit state standards while supporting teachers at the same time?

How do STEELS and computer science standards guide STEM instruction? The session shows how schools can use these standards to choose the right course pathways. It explains how robotics, drones, AI literacy, 3D design, and hydroponics can fit into daily instruction, after school programs, or full year STEM courses.

What resources do teachers need to lead STEM confidently? The webinar highlights everything included in NextWaveSTEM programs, such as course guides, teacher support materials, presentations, worksheets, and assessments. These tools help teachers deliver hands on STEM lessons even without a background in emerging technologies.

How can schools fund new STEM programs? A full section of the webinar covers grants, funding options, and templates schools can use to launch and sustain STEM programs without adding extra workload to teachers.

What are the best ways to start or expand STEM programs in K12? The video gives clear strategies, practical examples, and step by step guidance to help districts make informed decisions.
