The Amazeum offers private workshops for STEAM Investigations. Full descriptions are available below. Each private workshop is 2 hours long with the date determined in collaboration between school and Amazeum. Private workshops are best when held at Amazeum due to the experience and access to resources/tools. However, workshops can be held at your school site. Workshops are ADE-approved for professional development credit. Professional Development workshops held in-person have new processes and procedures to maintain a healthy and safe environment. More information provided during registration.
Fee*: two-hour workshop at Amazeum for up to 25 teachers: $450
two-hour workshop at school site** for up to 25 teachers: $500

**Additional fee may apply for sites over 45 miles from Amazeum.
Professional development workshops are designed for adult only.
STEAM Investigation workshops are for educators of students in grades 1-8. Each 2 hour session will include inquiry, hands-on tinkering, and time to reflect using NGSS Science & Engineering practices and the Amazeum's Core Values of Tinkering. The Amazeum will provide guides for each activity which include connections to literature, STEAM disciplines, and PBL ideas. Workshop options include:
Investigate Change: The Matter with Ice | Explore the possibilities of ice as it changes states of matter, reacts to tools, and transforms with color. |
Investigate Lift: What’s Up with That | Discover the wonder of flying objects and the air principles that support them. |
Investigate Power: Connect with Circuits | Engage with electricity in a safe, fun way by completing your own circuits. |
Investigate Movement: How We Roll | Play with physics to learn about the rules that describe force and motion. |
Investigate Shape: Thinking in 3D | Explore spatial awareness and bring math to life by using everyday materials to design shapes. |
