6 Ways to Introduce Students to App Development
By Devin Partida
Learning how to code your own apps can prepare you for a future career in software development. It also teaches students a lot about mathematics, logic, and the technology they encounter on a daily basis.
This is why a growing number of STEM educators are finding ways to teach students of all ages more about coding and computer science.
However, introducing STEM students to the basics of app development can be a daunting task — especially when students have little or no experience with computer science and mathematics.
Educators have developed these six techniques and projects as ways to introduce students to app and software development.

We live in an increasingly technologically enhanced society. As a result, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects have become priorities in schools. However, it remains too often the case that these subjects are taught in public schools from a neurotypical perspective.
Many parents, teachers, and communities have found that school system administrators are not providing the flexibility, guidance, educational technology, and support for students experiencing disabilities or neurodivergent traits to thrive in STEM. This is not only frustrating and ethically unsound but can present significant hurdles to students who could discover a deep passion for these fields and become innovative contributors.
Let’s take a closer look at how educators can better imbue their neurodivergent and disabled students with a love of STEM.

10 Benefits Of Project-Based Learning
By Tina Shaffer
Project-based learning (PBL) is a powerful teaching method that has extensive benefits for students, ranging from critical thinking to project management to self-confidence. According to research conducted by The Autodesk Foundation, studies have shown that project-based learning is linked to significant improvements in student test scores, attendance, and classroom engagement. It also gives teachers the opportunity to build stronger relationships with their students by acting as their hands-on learning facilitator. In essence, PBL is an instructional method where students collaborate with others and “learn by doing.” The same skills learned through PBL are also many of the skills sought by employers.
