and if you want to type them in the chat or the Q&A then I can wrap them up at the end or we can we can address him as we go and once again my name is Misty coil I am with San Jacinto College in I am in the Aerospace and great and that is my passion but on the flip side of that I'm really about stem education for student so I taught science engineering rocketry and Robotics for 13 years in Goose Creek and Dickinson so I I do have the background of being an education and I do find that this is very important for students to to take the the projects that we give them and have fun with them so School sometimes seems a little overwhelming so I really feel like if we were to give them projects where they can play and not realize that they're really learning in the in the interim that helps them out so I'm going to go ahead and share my screen me just a moment here okay so I'm only going to take 30 minutes of your time today we're going to do a parent activity and I'm kind of sad cuz I can't see you guys so mr. duenas is going to have to tell me how tall you guys were able to build their structures then I'm going to do a short presentation on why we want to promote stem and then I'm not sure if Miss Barkley Racino delivered your take home experiments yet I'll go briefly over those as well so I first thing about stem is we are at Spaceport and Spaceport is behind Ellington Field in Clear Lake so I am part of San Jacinto College but we're actually in part of the the Houston Spaceport so we have some huge companies that are coming in Via besides NASA that are are launching off this just a lot of space things I was telling mr. duenas before we met right now the UAE is actually Landing a probe on Mars as we speak it supposed to be landing in entering the atmosphere right now so I'm not pretty exciting and then in February 18th next week persevering are NASA rover and it's on drunk helicopter is going to be landing on Mars as well so we have a lot of things going on in space your children really have the best of all the world's going to school in this area I went to school in Nebraska I do not have any of these opportunities your children have the opportunity to go into oil and gas or technology sectors are medical sectors so many facets and your children I have a wealth of knowledge right here at their back door so it's very important for parents to understand the even if you don't think that you have the means you don't have the the skills to promote your child that's not the case your teachers are there to say for you and if you want your child to be the next astronaut or you want your child to be the next CEO of an oil and gas company the teachers and education that your children are are having is going to be most beneficial for this so I'm going to go ahead and go into our activity oops wrong computer and our activity today is a spaghetti Tower so I will have to request it mr. duenas tell me what's going on here so you are going to take your spaghetti strings you should have had mentioned that you needed 25 pieces of spaghetti string 225 individual uncooked pieces and then you're going to take some masking tape since I'm not there I can't just stretch out three feet for you but you can use the tape as needed and you're going to build the tallest tower and I'm giving you eight minutes to do it I did mine this morning in 8 minutes and I said it's about 3 ft tall so I want to see if you guys can beat my my tower at this point so I'm going to go ahead and set my timer for 8 minutes and I went price to build the tallest tower that you can using just your masking tape and your spaghetti strings nothing else you can't tape it to the table either and you need to have it standing and in 8 minutes go ahead and start building you start your you're a menace allow me to translate real quick just in case you have to finish taking pants and then we'll do this the amen next unit facility Karina Casa I need an opinion. escaping an extremity 24K como se Mira como se construyo you come up with a mobile on a Sedona tourism a secret look at me fotos para que se construye Tu propia Casa Casa spaghetti if they specifically sushioki stamas motherland opener step at the end of the 8 minutes I want you to measure them if you can measure them because you don't have a ruler or tape measure or something if you think about it your your arm here is a little over a foot so you know you can say in arm length so I'm going to go ahead and start the timer for 8 minutes I'll be can't see it due to my there we go 8 minutes and go ahead and get started if you have questions go ahead and type it in the Q&A or the chat box la planicie la pregunta we are Q in a Kristina's with a serious about duenas I can't see with my PowerPoint pulled up I can't see the chat box so if they questions can you please let me know yes I am actually monitoring the chat box would you have any questions up will be able to bring it up and we'll be able to answer them right away and that could be done in English to Spanish the answers is your building your your Tower I want you to think about some things just I'm just going to talk just a little bit about think about some of the major structures in the world the Eiffel Tower and the I'm trying to think the Empire State Building the Leaning Tower Pisa even the huge skyscrapers in Houston if you think about the those are built you're going to use those skills to actually build your spaghetti Tower one of the strongest shape is a triangle so if you ever notice whenever a bridge is being built the bass what is a triangle and that's a big strength so usually the bridges go like this so that way the triangle is supporting the main part it's not because it's pretty it's because that's what structurally sound dinga am in Tacoma Last Story song close to me that's what I can pull a Taurus Peloquin Houston or and what gives you that was one mean today in Houston lumpiang gulay Bella Vista peso paint your at 5 minutes 34 seconds Thomas Ayala Cinco minutos con 27 can you see what they're building because we are doing a webinar I am not able to see it that that's part of the reputation that we have when we do this webinar I'm not able to see it but they can ask us any questions that they may have okay so it would be great if these parents send you a picture of it when they are done if if that's a possibility and I don't know if they would be able to but if if they were able to snap a picture of their spaghetti Tower and send it to us that would be fantastic yes that would be fantastic if you want to do that where's my emails really easy it's on my name Juan my last name g u e n a s at sheldonisd.com so it's mine. Want to join us at sheldonisd.com York show me any pictures you can have some of my photos. Foto de meia de nombre Aurora sheldonisd.com this is me we don't have any questions is that they must be doing a really good job in building their Tower right I will tell you when I built mine this morning I started with a square base but then I have one then I have triangles and diamonds and straight edges so it's not just one shape that's going to make it work but there's so many different ways you can do it did you use your a menace to I did I did if I'm going to if I'm going to ask my students or my parents to do something I do it exact are you the same very good how much time do they have left they have three minutes they spaghetti good morning doctor dearman I see that you're with us today 2 minutes don't even notice the name of those me hotels Elyria Packers to eat spaghetti 1 1/2 minutes winning Lotto I'm going to stop sharing for just a second 22 seconds Bendigo segundos 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 I wish we could see the tower that they constructed 2 Chainz I know it's very boring behind me now but I want to power Hightower start with a base of the square base K and then I did triangles going up and I used to to build more structure here and then from there I cross them so they they are forming like an X then from there I was able to continue to build it up and up and then the the top is here so it's on it's on the floor now and it comes up about a foot to my desk so we're Talkin at least three or four feet so I didn't measure it this morning just because I was trying to prepare but I want to show you that this is the this is a way to do it the reason we have students do these types of things is because we can talk to them multiple things we can have them measure it so that's working with their math skills in their measurement skill we can talk to them about perimeter we can talk about an area we can talk about so many things in the master of the engine part of it is the engineering design process we we have a plan we're going to build this and what are we going to do with it it's problem solving in the technology part of its students if they had a computer they would be able to use tinkercad and they can build it in a 3D model and of course this is science because we're Defying Gravity by building something vertical so a lot of these terms are straight terms out of what your students are learning in their classroom translate yes let me translate that if you see show this to see on deparasitant Washington simply I'm which of the stress of the cabinet Depot Canton oh Metro famous Como Country Limited area where most important that a plant Hibiscus plant. yes yo para construir la Torre Mas Alta Gracia para construir la Torre Mas Fuerte you locate a saint is it people that live in stasis academic C&C window matematica El como estas distresses economicas what is it because a la Vida real yes I'm not going to go through all the possible career pathways will be able to go and do a your high school even if they decide not to go to college if they get a two-year degree or technical degree some students my brother he makes a lot a lot of money in construction and he doesn't have a degree but he works so hard I feel like if you would still work value and and in communication with your children and then they're going to really have an the huge access to the the possibilities of careers cheapest Carrera skates professional Inn in Como resolver problemas de proyectos Construction in Avoca state three dimensionality mucho Mass into a printer como se la musica Cristiana Alegre con Los Alamos como se Miran Las Tablas de matematica thank you okay so these are just some pictures of other and spaghetti Towers this one is just amazing obviously they have more than 25 strands of spaghetti but it is just massive so I can put it was with both of these in Pleasant Prairie, co it'll come up with the spaghetti stupid affect people's entertainment email amoeba lucado's Yukon Canada Park let me know that I'm sharing with our parents mistcloak is that at and it's amazing how this type of project-based approach can keep our kissing gay and it we talked about how hard it is to keep our kids this was before covid-19 it was I keep on keeping gauge because Wikipedia against technology but this sort of project can we engage the students in the academic and be in the learning process which is so so important especially since so much of art are learning right now doutico is online and so the kids need this Hands-On tangible and activities to be able to continue so why stem is so important is because in this area it is just blooming and growing and so even though covid-19 and thousands and thousands of people lost their jobs there are a lot of jobs opened up especially in medical Fields right so you have tons of people that are waiting to go into nursing and that's part of the science in the half of it do in this area you can see that it is is growing great great on Leaps and Bounds in all areas of the stem career pathways people getting for Santa Alliance 2 strongest in chess technology engineering Mathematica a casino 20%. escaping the ingresso Buena Persona que usan CSS technology is my Luminox Commando 2018 me looking to the ultra-space is implemented 2pc antenna muy Pocas personas representando in mathematics so this is just a graph to show you that the stem Fields sorry I don't know if you guys can see this here and in Granite this charts a little bit older but it's it's just showing the motivation for it you know most of it wants to help protect the environment or current presidential Inn stration previous administrations are are wanting to really help protect our environment of course to improve Society in pursuing your passion so if your children are excited about medical care then then you're them towards that ask your teachers what can I do to to keep my child engaged your teachers have a wealth of knowledge that parents forget to tap into emotiva Los estudiantes para poder entrar a Carreras Christian Destin that I may come up with and come up with a look at this event is this going to listen bastante Mente Ultra instinct implementing is muy importante in are you there okay so here in Texas I'm just going to click through these quickly the biggest thing is she has the second largest number of Engineers per capita in the US I want to impress upon you that engineering is a huge fee but there's so many things that the students can do if they get a degree but I am not a 100% proponent of everybody has to go to college not everybody is fit for college some students do like to learn that way some students like to learn other ways my goal is not to make sure that every child in Texas go to goes to college I want to make sure that every child in Texas has the opportunity to do a stem career if what they choose and I think with Sheldon ISD they really are proponents of of stems in the in the classroom and pushing them on to the next level she looks important in Texas Erskine see me a tobacco relaciones instamatic in Texas economy your consideration yellow skin in in in Austin Texas let me see that was implemented second Auntie to look professional in this Terraria so in this chart and I want I want to focus right here on on Computing and I do have to say the one good thing that came out of learning the skills your children have just jumped to Leaps and Bounds so although they might be lacking and maybe a few other social skills at this moment because they aren't able to play with their friends or do what they want to do their technology skills skyrocketed last summer I did a summer camp right at the right at the beginning of covet so June one we did a summer camp and I will tell you my my 6th graders and my 7th graders in my 8th graders were really strong ring with doing online classes and I guarantee you this summer are summer camps are going to be a hit because they're going to be so used to the virtual learning and I'll have the virtual learning with the Hands-On so I think the covid-19 technology platform so well so that was one good thing that came out of covid-19 I'm looking for the most bad it's still okay computer automatic used to smile what is the exploited I do calcium with rosemary musica De Niro's oficina de la computadora para el trabajo. M&S is important a located Indonesia Raya no Como cuidar tus propias Craigslist a program and I'm not going to go through all of this but basically Texas and stem jobs Austin is number to Houston is number 8 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area it is number 16 so like I said we have a wealth of knowledge here in Texas and once again you know all stem occupations that you know there are a lot of people that work in the plants for example or at Nasa for example and they're not stem occupation and they're making good money my husband is an engineer and and that's how we met was through engineering but I will tell you that the wages continue to go up if your children go into the STEM related fields right now you have a mosquito's has induced esta construyendo salario promedio efectiva Okay so are just some of the stem and places of business here in in the Houston area of course I am with the Aerospace and Aviation I you know I used to build Rock get some I'm really a big proponent of Nason and if so but I will tell you my husband works in Plastics and petrochem so I feel like every job that we have in the Houston area can lead to great things and she know right now the MD Anderson in the cancer center they do amazing things and so I think in my opinion and there's so much to be had by joining the stem community in Mississippi send ins to the other thing I won't be too long ago and stem sensor technology engineering mathematics no yes no time you know Kayla Marie Cena MD Anderson Palermo's Whippany in plastic Bianca skipping elastic people is ocasion para que pueden participar next economy one other thing we talk to our kids about and this is probably where we're lacking right now I do too covid is when I having his interaction and so I find that whenever I've had to do job interviews and some of these soft skills are lacking sometimes so things to impart upon your child along with hard hard work is going to get them where they need to be but as long as they have positive attitude and they're able to communicate regardless what the language I'm I am I'm jealous of people that are bilingual or multilingual I wish I was that was not the the way I grew up your children are growing up bilingual all the already so that makes them a huge asset in in the workforce so teaching them the skills here will just boost their their their job what word am I looking for there what am I what am I looking for mr. doing this that they have varying background so I look it up bicycle rental places Academic Alliance coach at Reserve April emasculated I had any keyboard or there's a professional at the Boston Tea Co Pokemon Patrol people that came in pieces got an English Espanol the second opinion to English so I am going to because I do feel like it's important and this is the whole to impart stim upon your children I'm still needs see where your kids are in the school's after school during the summer our local communities we want to introduce at a young age when your kids are most curious right now and we have them bite they're going to keep wanting to learn kids need stem mentors and role models to look up to they need more education about stem degrees and related job so they can look forward to Bright Futures in those fields this is so true let me let me translate this to Spanish Cameron State Bank KS something nice to see you understand why you got to be apart a category of sea. Yamaha tenor keyboard where is Nutrisystem pasando moment I said it it has been a poder trabajar in the city public schools to elementary schools we have what's called Compass school and it and we will do a training coming up here at the end of February all of our parents a compass schools in our district are we give the choice of our parents to be able to select the school that has an instructional program that they're interested in one of those programs that we have implemented into school we have it at Logan Elementary and we have it at Carroll Elementary and is actually stem and it's a specific focus of instruction in those two schools that everything that they learn is STEM related it's a project-based STEM related and so are pears that are interested to be able to and they already know that their kids are really really interested in science or technology or engineering mathematics these two schools are doing a fabulous job of implementing an imbalanced and like activities every single day every single week for all of their students and so that's a great opportunity Garrett at this time as well so you know I I know you are you guys are are fantastic Educators I love Sheldon ISD. I just want to plug in one last thing today and is our Pathways to the Stars summer camp it will be kicking off in June it is we will have supplies for your students at school I think today's at student our parents were 5th grade parents correct before this free summer camp it'll be virtual and if you want more information I can forward that on I'll be forwarding information anyway but I just wanted to plug that in that we will be having virtual summer camps this summer all all through June and July know where we are at on time and I can forward this link to you but it's also what's going on what happened with NASA last year and what's going to be happening this year so that's pretty much my presentation for today I do want to go over the attic homelabs that I sent home with you guys so and because you're participating with us we sent home some take-home labs and you know you can do science and you can do math in engineering with the c list of things so you'll see in your cat you have like a pipe cleaner and you know it's something simple but you're going to be able to make crystals with that one of the things that I sent home with you guys is an end I didn't send a post I sent an index and you're supposed to draw an arrow on it and then put it behind water and when you do that it flips the arrow and that's refraction and so I've given you the lessons I given you the supplies and I've also given you the science behind it all of this Diane did I given you relate specifically to the 5th grade teks I know the fifth grade cheap switching to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills inside and out upside down and backwards cuz I taught fifth grade science for 8th of the 13 years I know this and so I know what your kids need to pass that science STAAR test and there's just a wealth of knowledge out there I'm going to close with saying I know that some parents don't always believe that their children can do and stay higher-level things and your kids can they are doing it even if they're not at a stem campus your teachers and Sheldon ISD are fantastic at pushing your children to the next level so I really appreciate you guys listening to today if you have further questions or you would like me to do another a series with you guys I would be happy to have tons of tons of experience thank you so much by mosquitoes una Bolsa de material participate in Paris if you have anybody else that you think would benefit from this please remember that we will have another station at 6 p.m. today please app you don't invite your friends family neighbors anybody that has students at Sheldon specialty Elementary School 3rd 4th and 5th actually if you wanted to but we do we do have our training at 6 p.m. today please call once again thank you so much and I'll see you tonight bye bye thank you
