What is LifeSTREAM?
LifeSTREAM is a unique professional development series for STEM educators and school counselors, proponents of STEM with Arts (STEAM), industry professionals, and business and community leaders. Presentations, round table discussions, and poster sessions from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and local industries.
The purpose of the series is to enhance the awareness of and educational preparation of the students in the region for careers resulting from cutting-edge scientific research and technologies. These careers incorporate a range of STEAM disciplines; the topics presented in the series will reveal future trends in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, the limits of human and machine learning, and applications to space travel/exploration to the moon, Mars, and beyond. The series provide a unique opportunity for attendees to meet with researchers and scientists to learn what is happening in the fusion of science, technology, and art/design-based projects to enrich STEM education and learning. Educators can earn Professional Development (PD) credits for attending through their affiliated BOCES and learn cutting-edge lessons and workshop ideas to bring back to the classroom to further motivate and enlighten their classes.
