Spice up your learning for the 2nd Semester- come on a field trip with us!

Posted by Lori Blantz on Feb 7, 2023 7:30:00 AM

Giovanna and I are in our new location at Burle. We will have an official STEM classroom and Maker Space area for classes to come enjoy and lesson run by us. Why not spice up the year with a fun, structured, field trip to our very own IU13 Burle Building taught by Giovanna Chamberlain. Sign out our vans and bring the students over. Why not even support the IU13 Student Café by coming on a Tuesday, Thursday, or the 3rd Wednesday of the month and add lunch to support our IU13 students. We have three lessons that we have created, but if these would not suit your students please connect with us and we can alter then or provide another lesson. If coming to Burle is too much, we can coordinate and come to you. Try it out- like Mikey you and your students might like it!!!

What does Derick Tilburg, Amy Kurtz, and Michelle Weisman all have in common? Each of them have been a winner in our 2022-2023 Blog Contest! All they did to be eligible was send in a picture or pictures of students engaged in a STEM activity. We do the rest! We write up a message and post on Twitter and Facebook to share out to IU13 staff, districts and anyone that follows us @STEMatIU13. What a great way to recognize your students for their hard work and earn a book of your choice with supporting lessons from our very own Giovanna Chamberlain. Send in those pictures! We cannot wait.

Why not even support the IU13 Student Cafe by coming on a Tuesday, Thursday or the 3rd Wednesday of the month and add lunch.
