If you’re a parent of a student, or an educator, or even a student or recent graduate yourself, you’ve likely been hearing a steady drumbeat of “STEM education” for the past 10 years, if not longer. As a whole, US education has really stepped up to incorporate STEM into all aspects of learning; it should be a relief to many parents that these opportunities are now readily available for most kids.

Reflexiones y Acciones para Replantear la Educación

What if STEM was taught differently so that it was learnt more meaningfully? For example, this is an engineering video that relies on a Nerf gun. Video source Now here is a video about scientists t...

STEM fomenta la motivación del alumnado; la retención de los aprendizajes por más tiempo; la capacidad de transferir aprendizajes de unas situaciones a otras, y, en definitiva, el aprendizaje por competencias básicas. Según las conclusiones de la Administración de Economía y Estadísticas, menos del 25% de STEM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas) puestos de trabajo son ocupados por mujeres.
¿Quieres conocer recursos que han despertado la motivación en las mujeres en los campos de STEM: ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería o matemáticas?

A new MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) offering an in-person twist — local weekly facilitated meetings — debuts next week to help future and current college STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) faculty become better teachers. It is designed to be of special interest to grad students planning to teach professionally.

Según los últimos datos del EUROSTATT el valor de la economía social en la Unión Europea representa el 10 % de su economía de acuerdo al total del PIB de los países miembros. Al mismo tiempo, la economía social crea empleo para más de 11 millones de trabajadores. Estos 11 millones representan el 4,5 % de la población activa en la Unión. Destacan casos como el de Finlandia, Reino Unido o Eslovenia, que a su vez, cuentan con las tasas de crecimiento más estables y significativas, poniendo de relieve que la economía social nacida del emprendimiento es una variable determinante en el crecimiento y en la predicción de bienestar de un país.

Nanowire field-effect sensors show significant advantages of real-time, label-free and highly sensitive detection of a wide range of analytes in liquid phase, including proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and viruses in single-element or multiplexed formats. Motivated by the unique features of these sensors and the ease to integrate them in the currently available VLSI technology, researchers used molecularly modified silicon nanowire FETs to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are associated with environmental pollution, quality control, explosive materials, or various diseases.

A continuación, siguiendo a Mikel Gorman, en su serie de entradas realizadas sobre este particular en su blog, os ofrezco una selección de enlaces a recursos que pueden dar muchas pistas para elevar el aprendizaje y la pasión por el conocimiento de muchos estudiantes. No los he revisado todos (sí he revisado que no haya enlaces rotos), naturalmente, ni su inclusión aquí supone ningún tipo de valoración por mi parte, eso es algo que dejo a cada uno de los lectores.

Cuando me propusieron escribir este artículo resonaron en mi cabeza las declaraciones del que fue presidente de la Universidad de Harvard, que afirmó en una conferencia hace diez años que las mujeres tienen "una capacidad innata menor para las matemáticas y las ciencias" que los hombres.

What are the real benefits of a maker-centered approach to learning? It’s often described as a way to incubate STEM skills or drive technical innovation — and it is probably both of these. But as a new report from Project Zero’s Agency by Design concludes, the real value of maker education has more to do with building character than with building the next industrial revolution.

Google has invented a new smart contact lens with an integrated camera. By virtue of being part of the contact lens, the camera would naturally follow your gaze, allowing for a huge range of awesome applications, from the basis of a bionic eye system for blind and visually impaired people, through to early warning systems (the camera spots a hazard before your brain does), facial recognition, and superhuman powers (telescopic and infrared/night vision). In related news, Google Glass is publicly available today in the US for one day only (still priced at $1500).

"At its simplest, a flipped format can involve a teacher inviting students to view YouTube videos at home as a preview to the day's topic. At its most rigorous, a flipped curriculum involves teachers writing, producing, directing, editing, and posting their own original lessons -- complete with custom narrations and visualizations -- via third-party applications."
