Through its National Integrated Cyber Education Research Center, the Cyber Innovation Center is hosting a STEM EDA workshop for middle school teachers on December 18, 2014, 8am-5pm at Cal State San Bernardino.

STEM: Explore, Discover, Apply (STEM EDA) engages middle school students through a series of hands-on projects that help improve their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. All projects seamlessly integrate the Engineering Design Process which allows students to creatively explore STEM through design.

This multi-grade level curricula utilizes liberal arts disciplines to provide meaning and depth to the content. Through STEM EDA, students develop invaluable skills focusing on leadership, team building, creativity, and communication.

STEM EDA's modular nature provides ultimate flexibility to schools. Teachers can implement the curricula as a standalone elective course, insert specific modules into and existing class, or provide the modules as an after school program.
