This wiki page describes ISKME's Teachers as Makers Professional Development Academy.A two day professional development teacher training for the Maker inside each of us. We will explore how Maker-Teacher collaboration can facilitate innovation in the classroom. The Makers’ Projects are points of inspiration for Teachers as they experience DIY inquiry and design. Teachers will have time to brainstorm, create, reflect, and share how their experiences at Maker Faire and with Make Teacher Academy can translate into their teaching using online resources and collaborative tools. This page includes links, activities, photos, video, and group presentations from the Academy.

This site presents challenges faced by NASA engineers who are developing the next generation of aerospace vehicles. The challenges: thermal protection systems, spacecraft structures, electrodynamic propulsion systems, propellers, and personal satellite assistants. Students design, build, test, re-design, and re-build models that meet specified design criteria, using the same analytical skills as engineers.

In this design challenge, students learn about the Vikings from an engineering point-of-view. While investigating the history and anatomy of Viking ships, they learn how engineering solutions are shaped by the surrounding environment and availability of resources. Students apply this knowledge to design, build and test their own model Viking ships.

Science teacher Ryan Ruff introduces the scooter design challenge by having students develop sketches of scooters, describing how their scooters overcome the forces of gravity and friction. Students then form groups and present their sketches to each other. The groups decide on one scooter idea and work together to build that scooter. Students design prototypes to meet the specific parameters that Mr. Ruff develops. After creating their scooters, students test them and redesign as necessary. Finally the groups present their scooters to younger students, describing how their scooters work and fielding questions.

Seventh graders in Beth Manning's science class work in collaborative groups to design and construct edible cars. They begin by sketching plans for their cars and figuring out which foods they will use and how they will put the foods together. The groups then get the appropriate materials and construct their cars, testing and redesigning as necessary. All of the groups come together to put their cars to the test and participate in a car contest. The groups compete to see who constructed the fastest car and who constructed the car that traveled the longest distance past the finish line.
