    Series 7 Episode 4: The Unsung Heroes of Science Education - Elementary School Teachers - In the fourth episode we focus on the unsung heroes of science education - elementary school teachers! As academic generalists, elementary school teachers bring a lot to the table when it comes to teaching and learning in STEM. Educational strengths including their understanding of cross-curricular learning, cognitive development/understanding of children’s science ideas, and deep knowledge of student diversities & how to adapt lessons for diverse learners. We also discuss the most common challenges for elementary school teachers including the lack of professional development opportunities, building educator science knowledge in a post-truth/Bot-AI-infused world, and increased need for real world observations and experimentation by children. The news links below include articles on the importance of nature based learning how how STEM teachers are using 3D printing to improve the lives of their students.

    (STEM)2 S7E3 Understanding the Labour & Environmental Impacts of AI in STEM Education

    Series 7 Episode 3: Understanding the Environmental & Labour Costs of AI in STEM Education - In the third episode we explore how the environmental and labour impacts of new AI technologies may be impacting educational systems. Like earlier episodes in this series, we start by exploring how transformational technologies such as refrigeration and lead fuel cars and trucks may have benefitted society but also carried huge environmental issues as it relates to CFCs degrading the Earth’s ozone layer and the public health impacts of leaded gasoline which were generally mitigated through public policy and further technological innovation. In education, the benefits of AI can be significant as it relates to STEM lesson planning, teaching, and helping students with foundational skills development. However, like earlier technologies, it is important for STEM educators to understand current environmental impacts of AL tech/data centres on electrical grids and their heavy reliance on fresh water. This episode also looks at whether or not AI systems should have a labour tax as these technologies will likely impact and/or displace workers including teachers and/or paraprofessionals. The news link below on AI’s impact on the environment and a possible need to implement a labour tax on AI for job re-training and other societal benefits. (S7E3)

    (STEM)2 S7E2 Future STEM Educational Opportunities in United States & Beyond
    2025/12/05
    Series 7 Episode 2: STEM Education Opportunities in the United States and Beyond - In the second episode we explore how historical failures in STEM education including closing the US Department of Education in the United States as a model includes opportunities to re-imagine STEM education both in the United States and beyond. Like the first episode, we look at the history of public schools and how they were historically expanded due to technological, industrial and economic advancements during the industrial revolution and cold war eras. It is likely that technological innovation, combined with an increasingly complex international economic systems will push countries like the United States and Canada are STEAM to be in educational alignment with many European and Asian nations where post secondary education becomes universal as well expanding the older K-12 model here in North American into K-14 or K-16 educational systems that also include STEM and tech re-training opportunities for every economic sector and class of workers. The news links below explore some of the diverse support for STEM and STEAM programs around the world. (S7E2)
