MakerEd Integration For any Subject
This is an example lesson, plus supporting coaches’ documentation, for an integrated maker ed, PBL lesson. It should be seen as a “cooking” technique into which an educator may insert their own curricular ingredients and seasonings.
Preparation and Combustion of Biodiesel. An Inquiry-Based Chemistry Laboratory
In this lesson, the students develop a synthesis to make biodiesel from vegetable oils. Students convert canola oil, a common vegetable oil found in kitchen, to biodiesel. The conversion involves a transesterification reaction of a triglyceride with methanol to produce biodiesel and glycerol.
What do careers have in common?
How do we attract students to the field of science? What is it that is going to draw them into the field and keep them there? I believe that the answer to this question can be found by talking to scientists themselves.

Prototype a Computing Device
Students work in groups of up to three to build a prototype of an innovative computational solution to a problem in society that they are passionate about. They will first identify and scope one part of the problem in society that they can solve with a physical computing device.
Collaborative Design, Build & Deliver
The days of cookie cutter jobs and cookie cutter workers are rapidly ending. Automation and artificial intelligence will replace many jobs that exist today. The jobs that remain will require creativity, collaboration and flexibility – the so-called "21st-Century skills."
