The Palouse STEAM Coalition is hosting Dr. John McNamara, WSU professor emeritus of Animal Sciences who will be speaking about the why and how of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and STEM/STEAM adoption in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. McNamara will facilitate an interactive session about how teachers, students, and community members can move STEAM education forward in a variety of ways.
This forum will be held Thursday, February 28, from 6-8 p.m. at WSU Pullman campus Veterinary and Biomedical Research Building, Room 305. Professional STEM/STEAM clock hours are available for those able to attend this forum and the following forum scheduled on Thursday, May 16. There will be light appetizers and beverages available.
The Palouse STEAM Coalition works collaboratively to connect all community members to educational STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) opportunities in the region. Through building awareness and the sharing of resources and ideas, we strive to develop impactful, equitable programming to engage students and community members to be lifelong learners. The coalition aims to build our community’s potential, through the promotion of problem-based learning, college and career related experiences, and work based opportunities, through mentoring to support a globally engaged community.
