Neurodiversity in STEM at TERC
@ndinstem-at-terc.bsky.social
We are a community dedicated to inclusive STEM education that embraces the unique talents of neurodivergent learners.
NeuroVivid at NYSCI! A camper said last session, and bound to be repeated next week, "It's a fun, scientific journey with wiring and coding and the brain!" Learn more about NV at https://www.terc.edu/ndinstem/about/neurovivid/neurovivid-camp-at-nysci/ @terc-stem.bsky.social @nysci.bsky.social

Kelly attended EALA's energetic CofA. In an energetic 36-hour “dolphin tank," groups coalesced, created and pitched work to support all learners. An inspirational reminder that people are still dedicated education for all. https://educatingalllearners.org/community-of-action @terc-stem.bsky.social

CT activities offer unique opportunities to support EF, and in turn by supporting EF, we can improve learners’ CT. We believe the overlap of CT and EF is where neurodiversity shines. https://blog.terc.edu/computational-thinking-and-executive-function #CSEdWeek @terc-stem.bsky.social
