Creating Content-Rich Intruction for the 90-Minute Block
|
The 2013 Summer Institute is hosted by the James F. Ackerman Center for Democratic Citizenship and the Center for Literacy Education and Research (CLEAR). The institute is titled “Creating Content-Rich Instruction for the 90 - Minute Reading Block.” This institute provides an excellent opportunity to learn how to implement the 90 - Minute Reading Block while integrating social studies content. This professional development experience culminates in participants planning units to be used during the 90 - Minute Reading Block built around social studies themes and includes sets of high children’s literature to be used in guided reading and interactive read aloud formats.

Electric Go-Kart Summer Camp
|
The camp will provide students with a background of electric vehicles and the technology associated with them. Each student will drive the go-kart 2 times - during a practice run and during the 25-mile endurance test. Students will form teams of 4 and each team will be mentored by a current Purdue student. The mentor will help each team develop an understanding of vehicle basics and a strategy for power management.
On the Thursday and Friday, students will be in the classroom from 9:00 a.m. unitl 4:00 p.m. working on the go-kart and learning more about electric vehicles. The classes will be located in the Purdue Technology Building on the IUSB campus. Lunch is provided for students. The address for the Purdue Technology Building is 1733 Northside Blvd. South Bend, IN 46615.
On the following Sunday, students will go to a local tack and complete the 25-mile endurance test.

Adventures in Computer Science Summer Camp
|
Join us on our adventure as we explore and learn all about Computer Science using an age-appropriate, forensic-themed scenario. Campers will use computer science tools and become investigators working toward solving a crime while in this immersion-based camp! The 2013 Camp is open to students who are entering grades 6, 7, or 8 by the Fall of 2013. No previous computer science or programming expertise is necessary, but campers should be comfortable using a computer.
The camp will take an in-depth look at computer science concepts such as programming, cryptography, and robotics, and how they are used every day to make a difference in our world. Using programs such as Python, Alice, and Web design software, students will explore hands-on applications. Students will also participate in a PicoCricket design studio challenge.
Activities will be led by the Purdue University computer science K-12 outreach coordinator, other computer science faculty and staff, and K-12 teachers.

Science Express
|
This project provides an opportunity for young students, from all backgrounds, to have hands-on learning experiences with instruments used in research laboratories today.The equipment, mounted on rolling carts, is delivered directly into the classroom for use by the students. Teachers attend training sessions during the school year or summers, during which time they are trained on the instruments and develop experiments appropriate for the high school laboratories. Emphasis on real world applications helps to demystify the instruments and link experiments to student experiences. The use of a variety of instruments provides a wide range of laboratory experiments and allows teachers to customize their chemistry and biology curriculum to fit the needs of their students.
