Using business practices with the students is really effective. #stemeduchat

I see in the 7-10 Year group as small group collaboration as imperative, but with the ability to make links to other groups. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

We have had problems with getting large numbers to collaborate on one problem, best to let them following their own passions. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

We have a specific theme for each year level progress from the individual to global problems, not all STEM related. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

Having a theme really helps, for our Year 9 cohort we had a specific Canberra community theme which helps
#stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

The program that we have spans 7-10 with differing themes so the solutions are as variable as the projects. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

Authentic problems could be anything from needs of the school or ideas from the community. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

Initially started with collaboration between Faculties to integrate skills but now have developed a specific program for this. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

Authentic problems are a great way to start, relevance and buy in. #stemeduchat

[Jane O'Brien @HJ_OBrien]

Integration for STEM can really be given a boost by using 21 Century skills and involving teachers from all subject area #stemeduchat
