Innovative Facilitator of the Day Your task is to create four 90 minute inquiry based lessons. These lessons must be designed to engage a wide range of learners (30 grade 4-7 students). Two lessons will be conducted off site and the other two lessons will take place at SAIL. The criteria is:

Lessons must have a clear STEM focus. Must engage your audience. Age appropriate. Well planned. Must incorporate technology. Must be hands-on and interactive. Allows your learner to work with their interests.

IDEAS: Hour of CAD All students learn to use Tinkercad under the instruction and supervision of those who already know how. The last 30 minutes: CHALLENGE! CREATE. Create an object that is relevant to a theme (not revealed until challenge starts). [Place suggestions for a theme here. Hour of CODE (or other coding) Click HERE for the video. The students complete an hour of code challenge, and theoretically have 30 minutes to build a game. List of languages in order of current popularity (with the comments above): Python, Ruby, Java. Makey Makeys (Eelectric Ccircuits) Learn how to construct one, the importance of ground/earth, etc. Create a gamepad, for the game that the students coded in Hour of CODE. Play other games with Makey Makey. Little Bits Students can explore creating circuits, and incorporate their circuits into cardboard creations. Present next lesson and we can transition that lesson into presentation day and the presentations will lead to new topic. Wearables Make a simple circuit that can be worn. Spheros Program Spheros. Use Spheros to go from one place to another, without hitting obstacles. Build an obstacle course. Design Challenge Wind-powered elevator thing	(Dylan help me explain this thing). Popsicle Stick Bridge/Architecture Challenge. 100 popsicle sticks to build a bridge or tower. Who can build the strongest or tallest tower, bridge, etc. Cardboard Creations. Use recycled materials to build a strong boat and try to get it to float. Eventually add weights to the boat to see which boat lasts the longest. Drop an egg from a height, and see if the students can protect it using select limited materials. Balloon-propelled car. Each group gets a set of wheels, cardboard, straws, clay, tape, and balloon. They have to design a working car, and we race it to see which one goes the furthest.
