1.1 Letter from the President:
To the Middle East & North African (MENA) educational community
Much of our nation’s vitality and viability springs from
discoveries and advances made possible by science,
technology, engineering and mathematics – the so-called
STEM disciplines. Science and technology company leaders
are acutely aware of this. We also understand that these
advances require a robust and diverse STEM workforce.
Building such a workforce begins with education…
For decades, we at Faraday Studios have been involved in helping to build such a
workforce. We are the current keeper of a STEM education heritage that began 200
years ago in London, at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. We now realize the
necessity is upon us for finding and mentoring the next generation of master STEM
teachers and students.
To that end, we have been searching the planet for young students and teachers seeking
to grow their skills and abilities in learning and sharing the delight the STEM world
has to offer them. I would suggest that we can locate a remarkable groups MENA.
I’m very proud that our experience and conversations with Dr Mahmoud Al-Mudhafar,
our Vic President for Middle East and North Africa (MENA), led us to believe that one
of the best opportunities we can offer is the Technology transfer of Hands-On Science
Learning to the educational communities at the region. We possess the largest
collection of relevant STEM based learning materials on the planet. We want to share
what we have with your teachers and students. We want to train them to be master
teachers and students, empowering them to inspire future generations.
I suggest we have both an unprecedented opportunity to achieve that! Thank you
1.2 Recommended Projects to achieve a successful technology transfer of the of Hands-on
Science Learning and STEM educations
Project Description Outcome
1. Thinking as Scientist: Hands-On Science Learning Workshops in MENA countries through webcasts for the three Stages: elementary, secondary and high school Students. Content: Instruction:30% Activity:70%
Live ongoing series of workshops, through a large screen webcast to the audience, directly from the wizard lab at Faraday studio in the US, along with a US scientific team to host and interact with the students during the hands-On activity
Students will experience firsthand, how to become critical thinkers. While performing engaging hands-on activities, they will be challenged to use scientific thinking skills employed by all scientists and engineers. Student will then have a more clear understanding of their individual skill level
2. Master class for STEM teachers: Training Workshop in the US, for school teachers of elementary, secondary and high school, based on the national program of curricula syllabus, with an Academic content of 30% and Activities of 70%
Intense, specialized training in engaging students in hands-on inquiry based learning. Qualified teachers will be certified and will have access to the world's largest collection of hands-on inquiry based STEM learning activities.
By the end of this workshop, the teachers will have experienced a minimum of 100 hands-on learning activities that can be replicated in the schools. They will have learned the tactics required for developing their own additional activities for supporting the syllabus and will become a resource to other colleagues.
3. Train the trainer: Training workshop in the US This workshop is designed to take the STEM teacher training in the previous workshop (project #2) to a higher level Content: 15% trainings, 85% hands on production
Participants will learning the techniques for producing video and other media STEM education materials relating to curricula taught in the participants’ countries. They will learn how to create curriculum support activities and how to share them with live groups of teachers, or via the internet
Graduating teachers will have the skill level to be "teachers of teachers" in the participants’ countries. In the US studio, they will create video presentations that can be shared with many teachers across the country. They will be qualified to create additional training videos in their countries, and will remain actively engaged in future connections with Faraday Studio as more videos are produced. Trainees will bring back with them completed samples of workshops to share
Project Description Outcome
4. Supplement books: Designed to enrich the national curricula. For students (grade 6 to High school)
Faraday studios' staff offer specific set of activities that supplement the existing curriculum used by the educational system at the customer country [*]. The contents of the prepared supplements (books( will be endorsed by world class scientific organizations such as (HR, AAAS, and NSTA)[**]
Teachers will have a ready resource, for engaging and delightful STEM activities, linked directly to topics being taught in their classroom. Many of these will be directed towards topics which are often difficult to teach or understand. Each activity will also have a student’s version, allowing the activities repeated at home or other informal learning situations.
5. Science Fairs and competitions: Preparing students to participate in local, national and international competitions for all ages
Consultancy service by Faraday Studios' scientific team to achieve the best outcomes at all levels of science fairs and competitions
Increased student, teacher and judging competency in planning and participation in fairs and competitions.
6. Hardware Science Kits: Written directions for STEM learning activities that can be completed in one hour or less. Access to online videos demonstrating kit use
Faraday Studios' process a series of hands-on science kits using common items to discover the science of everyday living and common purposes. All actives in this series are engaging, inexpensive and easy to complete. Optional videos and webcasts are available for the training of kit use
Students will experience firsthand, how to become critical thinkers. While performing engaging hands-on activities, they will be challenged to use scientific thinking skills employed by all scientists and engineers.
7. Building and Developing Leaders Capabilities of The Educators, Academics and Scientific Leaders
Custom courses, based on the customer needs with proven techniques and strategies to design and develop joint programs of research. Also this will provide a chance for the researchers to meet with their counterparts
The participants will have the opportunities of problem solving, sharing experiences and knowing the best practices. Faraday Studios' vision is to introduce the participants to cutting edge scientific institutions, such as: Stanford University in California; NASA in Houston; the National Science Teachers Assoc. in Washington
[*] the existing curriculum used is needed in English. [**] HR: Horizon Research; AAAS: American Association for the Advancement of Science; NSTA: National Science Teachers Association
Part 2 - Faraday Studios Profile
1. About Us
Faraday Studio is a registered corporation with its headquarters in Wichita, Kansas,
USA. Fostered from a rich 200 year history of service to informal science education,
our staff operates from facilities in Los Angeles, California; Cambridge,
Massachusetts; Wichita, Kansas; Hilo & Honolulu, Hawaii; Atlanta, Georgia; New
York City, New York, and Lyon, France.
For many decades our staff has responded to the changing needs, trends, and
innovations in STEM teaching and learning. We support students, teachers, and
organizations that serve them. We develop supplemental curriculum materials, provide
teacher professional development seminars; student workshops / live presentations, and
we design learning kits and materials for both commercial and not-for-profit entities.
Our current status evolved from America’s most popular informal science resource;
Mr. Wizard. Often cited as America’s Science Teacher, the Mr. Wizard presence on
US television spanned fifty years. During that time, we also produced and presented
over 65,000 live presentations and workshops to schools cross the United States.
In 1995 we expanded our service beyond the boundaries of the US. Faraday Studio
became the next generation of educators to carry on the Wizard tradition. With decades
of teaching experience at all levels and venues of STEM education, we craft each
project specifically to the needs and desires of our clients. We specialize in STEM
products and experiences for school systems, major media companies, museums &
science centers, scientific institutions and commercial enterprises.
