Week 4 #NASAMgUE

This was a busy week for #NASAMgUE at Galileo STEM Academy. If you would like more information about the highlights, just let me know.

• We received our SLED materials kit from NASA. 
• The teaching team had a webinar on Tuesday. The hour and a half webinar shared strategies for culturally responsive teaching, inquiry-based instruction, engineering design process, and 5E lesson plan. 
• We met before the webinar start time and looked at the kit, discussed our progress on outreach, and shared ideas for Friday's full team meeting with students. 
• We were also excited to hear from our NASA mentor on Tuesday. 

Tuesday was a busy day! The full #iNerdsMG team met on Friday morning, as usual. Students are developing a clearer picture of the challenge just like the teachers. There are twelve different jobs for the student groups. Some do not have any tasks until we can start testing and do our final planning. Student groups who had jobs to work on continued progressing in their work. Other students continued to learn more about microgravity. We will have a mentor from Boise State joining us next Friday. We are also hoping to have a chat with our NASA mentor on a conference or video conference call. There is a lot to do, organize, and prepare. It's still well worth the effort.
