Do you teach or are expected to teach technology in your classroom? Are you a Science, Computer Science, Technology, or FFA instructor, or an innovative teacher looking to inspire students with real-world applications? This session will introduce the latest technologies being explored in our Biological Systems Engineering department and actively applied in Nebraska’s fields, rivers, and ecosystems. From robotics and drones to big data and artificial intelligence, we’ll dive into how these tools are reshaping STEM careers in areas like sustainable agriculture, water management, and ecosystem monitoring.
Alongside an interactive showcase of these technologies, participants will engage in a collaborative workshop to co-design classroom activities tailored to K-12 needs. Together, we’ll craft strategies for bringing these cutting-edge tools into classrooms, creating engaging, age-appropriate experiences that bridge the gap between emerging technology and education. This session empowers teachers to integrate the latest innovations in STEM, enriching K-12 learning and inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers and innovators.
