    Building on the teacher professional development provided earlier this year, two-bit circus will continue to support teachers in the lynwood unified school district (lusd) with virtual stem/steam trainings and other resources to use to engage students in a virtual setting. One such resource are weekly STEM kits that will be available for parents to pick up, using lusds drive-up and go system. Each kit contains sample projects and supplies that students and their families can use in making new versions of existing inventions, creating new ones or tackling stem-related challenges. These projects are standards-aligned and designed to teach, inspire, and call on the student's inner creativity and critical thinking skills.

    Teachers in the lynwood unified school district receive professional development in project-based learning (PBL), increasing their comfort level in teaching with open-ended materials. The training sessions incorporate the maker movement and the engineering design process into an integrated approach to curriculum development. With newfound PBL skills in tow, teachers guide students through a series of hands-on experiences using a host of steam concepts and skills, while creating their own group steam-based projects. Students then take center stage at inventor's alley, demonstrating their projects at a district-wide steam carnival.
