Description
The Ignite Kits are a new resource being developed by the Discovery Center for teachers to access through our lending library. These kits are interdisciplinary and adaptable providing a place-based context for learning about STEM in South Dakota. The kits integrate the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings and the South Dakota Science Standards. The kits also connect to math, ELA, social studies, art and health as well as providing students opportunities to explore careers and college opportunities in South Dakota.
 
Teachers will be provided with a kit of their own based on the grade level they selected to pilot during the school year as well as a $300 stipend. Continuing education credits are also available.
 
This is a hybrid course requiring independent work and a zoom session following the two-day workshop. The course will be a total of 30 hours or 2 graduate workshop credits (pending). Credit fees are extra. Teams of teachers from the same district or school are encouraged to attend together. Grades K-12.
