The Center for Mathematics and Science Education (CMSE) at the University of Mississippi is hosting the STEM Teaching with Embedded Primary Sources (STEPS) K-12 Educator Workshop at four Mississippi museums across Mississippi this school year.
Join at one of these historical destinations: The Jesse Brent Lower Mississippi Museum in Vicksburg on Dec. 3-4, 2024; the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in Laurel on Dec. 18-19, 2024; the Oren Dunn city Museum in Tupelo on Feb. 12-13, 2025; or the Museum of the Mississippi Delta in Greenwood on May 15-16, 2025.
Help your students step back in time and explore the history of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through the Library of Congress’ collection of primary sources. In this workshop, participants will learn how to find, evaluate, and use historical primary sources from the Library of Congress in their science, math, or other STEM lesson planning. This free two-day workshop is open to all K-12 educators. The “STEM Teaching with Embedded Primary Sources” project has been made possible in part by funding from the Library of Congress.
