You love STEM? Check out Dr. Joanne Margaret Hynes-Hunter's presentation "The STREAM Evolution that EMPARTS Scientific Learning through Fun Movement Activities," on Sunday April 7 at 9:30am for STEM con and Beyond (https://stemconbeyond.com/)! Is it time to level-up our STREAM game? While STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, Math) education encourages learning by engaging various parts of the brain, let's take it up a notch by adding physical activity! Many students today don’t have enough movement in their day, which can contribute to (if not cause!) behavioral challenges and health issues. Dr. Hunter proposes a holistic learning approach where the mind and body work together. It’s called EMPARTS [Engineering, Math, Physical Activity, (P.A.), (Art), Reading, Technology, Science]. In this session participants will: 1. Distinguish the difference between STREAM and EMPARTS, as well as learn how to integrate/modify the EMPARTS activities and authentic, standardized assessments presented in the turn-key handout, into existing k-12 programs. 2. Actively participate in EMPARTS labs, including the engineering of physical activity equipment and participating in the specially designed games and assessments for the equipment. 3. Evaluate learning outcomes according to National Physical Education standards. Come explore the exciting possibilities of EMPARTS to revolutionize education and promote holistic student development.

STEM education is essential for individual success, economic growth, and addressing global challenges. It equips individuals with the skills and knowledge to navigate an increasingly complex and technology-driven world while fostering innovation and scientific literacy. #stemeducation
