$W137 | STEM, Culture, and Business Skills Through Experiential Learning at Disney (Room SOUTH 330F)

28 Jan 19
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Tracks: Future of EdTech Educator

Hear students talk about the intersection of STEM, learning about global culture, and business model and brand through experiential learning culminating in a trip to Disney World and how it helped them transfer classroom learning into applications outside the classroom. A 2016 experience at the Disney Institute for Business Excellence became the foundation for year-long learning in 2018-2019. A collaboration of teachers built in concepts from Epcot, connecting with other schools across the world and Test Track, communicating with engineers at GM to learn more about big data and AI in STEM careers, and then exploring through a business lens where brand promise is more than words. Discuss Skype, Microsoft Teams, Minecraft, OneNote, and Sway in this workshop.
