Outdoor Learning Workshops with Take Me Outside

 

STEAM Learning Outdoors with Educators Rachel Tidd & Katie Kajac
April 29 – 4pm PT/ 7pm ET 

Educators from GreenLearning and Wild Learning join forces to highlight innovative ways to take STEAM education outdoors.

Part 1 will introduce the Re-Energy challenge at GreenLearning, where you will learn how to engage in outdoor learning through creations such as solar ovens. Additionally, dive in on how to deepen student connections to their environment using the story Sila and the Land – helping students explore and reflect on creating an impact for themselves and future generations.

Part 2 of the workshop you’ll explore outdoor math activities that use diverse outdoor settings, from urban landscapes to natural environments. Together, we’ll learn how to leverage everyday resources, such as street signs, natural materials, and architecture, to create engaging math learning opportunities.
