Learn more about how engineers are choosing materials as they consider sustainability. Then\, experiment with light-weighting as we investigate renewable power sources and the implications of electric vehicles. This session will offer lesson plans that can be modified to meet the needs of elementary\, middle\, and high school students. \nOR \nExhibit Design: What Stories Can Objects Tell? \nPresented by Washington State History Museum \nTurn your classroom into a museum! Join educators from the Washington State Historical Society for this workshop where you will learn what goes into planning a successful museum exhibit\, and how to help your students act as curators\, designers\, and engineers to create exhibits of their own on any topic—from salmon\, to steam trains\, to storytelling. Plus\, you’ll get the chance to tour and evaluate a museum exhibit for yourself. \nSession 3 | 1:45 pm – 3:30 pm \nVisual Thinking Strategies \nPresented by Tacoma Art Museum \nIn this session\, presented by Tacoma Art Museum\, educators will learn about Visual Thinking Strategies\, an inquiry-based method of teaching with works of art. Visual Thinking Strategies provides ways for teachers to make learning more community based and more accessible for students from all different backgrounds and promotes critical thinking/problem solving/empathy building within classrooms and schools. Practice this method with your fellow teachers and participate in a hands-on art project to explore how to apply this method in your classroom. You’ll leave the program with creative ideas of how to invigorate curriculum\, how to facilitate engaging dialogue with students\, and how to integrate more accessible and inclusive practices in your teaching styles. \nOR \nDream Stream \nPresented by Foss Waterway Seaport \nTeachers will be able to understand what a healthy riparian zone means\, what salmon need in order to thrive in a stream\, and how to multiple biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors can have an impact on our local salmon health. \n“Dream Stream” is a hands on activity that gets students thinking about human impacts on our environment and what that means for other living beings. Incorporating the “Riparian Zone” by Northwest Treaty Tribes opens up a conversation on how salmon are not only a food staple for current peoples but that they hold a cultural significance for local tribes across the Northwest.  \n\nEvent Details: \nWhen: Saturday\, March 4\, 2023  | 9 am – 4 pm \nWhere: LeMay – America’s Car Museum \nContact: Education Department – education@americascarmuseum.org  |  253.683.3978 \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:ACM Virtual Book Club - Women at the Wheel: A Century of Buying\, Driving\, and Fixing Cars
DESCRIPTION:Join America’s Car Museum as we read Women at the Wheel: A Century of Buying\, Driving\, and Fixing Cars by Katherine J. Parkin. “In Women at the Wheel\, Katherine J. Parkin illuminates the social implications of [the stereotypes that portray [women] as uninterested in automobiles and\, more perniciously\, as poor drivers] and shows how they have little basis in historical reality. With chapters on early driver’s education and licensing programs\, and on buying\, driving\, and caring for cars\, she describes a rich cast of characters\, from Mary Landon\, the first woman ever to drive in 1899\, to Dorothy Levitt\, author of the first automotive handbook for women in 1909\, to Margie Seals\, who opened her garage\, “My Favorite Mechanic . . . Is a Woman\,” in 1992.” \nWe are especially excited to announce that the author\, Katherine J. Parkin will be joining us for our discussion! \nThe discussion and Q & A will take place on Zoom\, March 7th at 6pm. \nRESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY! \nThis book is available on Kindle and print. \nPurchasing your copy via this LINK and receive 30% off using the code PRKNWATW30. Additionally\, the Education Resource Center has copies to lend\, please email education@americascarmuseum.org to arrange checkout.
