Event Description:
Join the Center for the Advancement for STEM Teaching and Learning Excellence (CASTLE) for a seminar with Simon Hauger. Mr. Hauger will lead a talk titled: "Winning Big: Cool cars, urban students, and public education."
About Simon Hauger:
Simon Hauger is an engineer turned high school math and science teacher and more recently, principal. He began the Hybrid X Team at West Philadelphia High School 20 years ago to engage his students in math, science and engineering. The students in the after-school program have won multiple national competition with the hybrid vehicles they designed and built. Their vehicles have outperformed top Universities and corporations. In 2010 and 2014, Simon’s students were honored at the White House.
The innovative approach to education that powered the Hybrid X Team to success is the basis for a new school that Simon and his colleagues have begun. The Workshop School challenges students to solve the world’s most pressing problems, and organizes teaching and learning in service of doing so. Now in it’s fourth year, the Workshop School provides a model of what rigorous project-based education can be in a public school.
About the CASTLE Seminar Series:
The Seminar Series is focused on continuous improvements in STEM education teaching and learning. Speakers from a variety of institutions and internal experts from Drexel University are invited to lead conversations on local, regional and national trends in the transformation of STEM Education. |
