Goals and Objectives
Today’s Webinar will:• Encourage Sections to participate in the AIAA
Educator Academy by hosting a Curriculum Module and Capstone event
• Provide Professional Members, Students, Teachers and Community a meaningful opportunity to interact
• Help Sections to expand their current STEM programs
• A series of Curriculum Modules that will teach engineering-related concepts in fields such as aeronautics, astronautics and robotics (STEM) Mars Rover Celebration Electric Cargo Plane Space Weather Balloon
• Materials are promoted to Educator Associates through teacher training workshops for use in their classrooms
What is Educator Academy?
So How Does this Work?
Section decides to implement Educator
Academy
Schedules a Training for local Section
Council
Schedules a Teacher workshop to train
teachers
Support teachers as necessary as
mentors
Meanwhile… Plan the Capstone Event
Hold Capstone event for participating teachers and
students
Regions and Sections
So How Does this Work?
Educator Associates and Section Mentors impacting thousands of Students
Curriculum Modules Overview
• Three Different Curriculum Modules: Mars Rover Celebration Electric Cargo Planes Space Weather Balloons
Mars Rover Celebration
Students design and build a Mars Rover to carry out a specific science mission on the surface of Mars.• Grade Levels:
3-5 and 6-8• Contact:
Dr. Edgar BeringUniversity of [email protected]
Mars Rover Capstone• Mars Rover Celebration
Teams are responsible for constructing the rover, writing a presentation/skit and completing a Mars Rover manual
Teams are judged “science fair style” with judges circulating to each table
Mars Rover Capstone
• The Mars Rover Celebration Designed to be executed in
a single classroom, one grade level, a school-wide competition, or a citywide event.
Smaller school-level competitions help reduce the number of models in the city-wide competitions.
Electric Cargo Planes
Students design and build an electric cargo plane that carries the maximum amount of payload• Grade Levels:
6-8 and 9-12• Contact:
Tom MilnesJHU Applied Physics [email protected]
Electric Cargo Plane Capstone• Electric Cargo Plane
Design and construct and electric powered cargo airplane.
Teams are responsible for building wings, fuselage, landing gear, and cargo.
Airplane will be weighed after flying without cargo and then again after flying with cargo.
Goal is to carry as much cargo as possible.
Tethered Flight Concept
• Constrained Flight Path - Can be done Indoors- Expensive RC Equipment not needed
PowerPole
TetherPowerSupply
FlatSpeaker
Wire
Clear Packing Tape
Space Weather Balloon
Students design and build a space weather balloon to collect data• Grade Levels:
9-12• Contact:

Planning Your Capstone Event• Gather your Section Council to choose your module
Pick the one that:– fits your area or region–your team feels is most manageable–Pick the one that your team feels most
comfortable
Planning Your Capstone Event• Mini-workshop
Section Council plus enough others to make 20 Introduce one module in detail
• Full Academy Visit 6 hour Teacher Training Workshop Train the Trainers Workshop (leave a legacy behind) Train the Capstone Organizers Workshop This visit is mostly the Institute’s responsibility
Planning Your Capstone Event• Set the Dates
When will your Teacher Training Workshop and Capstone Organizer Training event be?–These are usually done over the same couple of
days to be efficient with instructor travel When will your capstone event be held?
–You must know this date before the teacher workshop
– It must be scheduled after teachers have had ample time to teach the curriculum
Planning Your Capstone Event• Promote Your Event
Advertise during the teacher workshop Share information with schools directly via email
–Find the right person to champion the project Send email to ALL section members Promote through sister societies like ASME, IEEE,
etc. Promote through other kids’ organizations like
YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs, Scouts, etc.
