This session is designed to help Facilitators deepen the authenticity of their programming by aligning activities with real-world STEM practices. Participants will explore how to design experiences that reflect the ways scientists, engineers, and technologists actually work—through inquiry, iteration, collaboration, and problem-solving. The training includes hands-on modeling, discussion of best practices, and time to adapt current lessons for greater authenticity. Facilitators will leave with strategies to make STEM learning more meaningful, relevant, and empowering for all students.
