STEM
WalkSTEM Tour- Klyde Warren Park and Notebooking Outdoors




This Teaching & Learning professional learning opportunity will provide content, material, and strategies to assist educators in meeting the needs of students in their district.

Important Session Information:


This session is a two-part hands-on STEM Skills session where participants will apply their critical thinking and collaboration skills in the field. Participants will also have an opportunity to take in the nature of the park and learn all about sketching things they observe and analyze in the outdoors.

Part 1: Klyde Warren Park

Did you know that Klyde Warren Park is a 5-acre deck park over a recessed eight-lane freeway? Not only is it a fantastic green space in Downtown Dallas, but it is also an engineering marvel. We are thrilled to partner with Klyde Warren Park, who is committed to creating fun, education activities for children, families, schools, and after-school groups. During this session, we will learn from TalkSTEM’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Koshi Dhingra how we can transfer STEM skills anywhere in our world. You can learn more about TalkSTEM’s Klyde Warren Park walk at this link.

Part 2: Region 10 Notebooking Outdoors

Once we have concluded our STEM walk, we will break for lunch and then come back together for a session on outdoor interactive notebooking. Interactive notebooking is a fundamental part of learning in that it provides a space for students to record observations, brainstorm, and process phenomena happening in nature. This portion of the session will provide participants with strategies to engage their students through learning outdoors! Please bring a notebook and sketching utensils of choice for this session.

INFO TO KNOW BEFORE YOU START YOUR TRIP.  

Parking! There is parking all around the park. See HERE  for more information on parking. We cannot reimburse for this fee.  Please plan accordingly. 
 
We will start our day at the Reading and Games room. There we will meet Dr. Joy Matthews. There will be some tables there for us to congregate at. 
This part of the session will last about 2 hours. You might want to bring a snack and some water while we wait to break for lunch. 
 
For the morning portion, you will need: 
  • wear comfortable walking shoes
