Participants will learn strategies to engage students in real-world geologic mysteries and fascinating Ice Age Floods detective work in this interactive STEAM workshop. Rick Reynolds, M.S.Ed., veteran educator and Founder of Engaging Every Student, will team up with Michelle Grove, Regional Science Coordinator at the Shadle Park Library Maker Studio to step educators through hands-on activities that engage students with NGSS-aligned science phenomena.
