August 16, 2022
10:00am WAT
By 2025, over 3.5 million new digitized jobs will be available and 65% of children entering primary schools will find themselves in occupations that do not exist. It is imperative to prepare the talent base needed for a digital economy by a fast adaptation in Science and Technology Education as the demand for IT skills and digital tools are growing and evolving. With new digital tools and transformation trends in technology, skills and knowledge are becoming accessible to all. This hands-on event will guide Science and Technology educators in the South-Eastern region of Nigeria with the instructional pedagogy and project-based learning strategies to better integrate into their classrooms for a more informed experiential learning of students.

6:00-7:00 PM GMT/UTC +1
1:00-2:00 PM US EST
Every second, millions of pictures are shared on social media. Our digital spaces are filled to the brim with them. If we step out on the streets we are surrounded by signs, adds, illustrations. We filled our world with visual information. Moving images capture our gaze. In all this white noise, the question raises if pictures are still effective tools for communicating knowledge. How can we focus on clear, precise yet playful and entertaining ways of visual communication? What possibilities are emerging on the brink of technology and immersive worlds? What stories can we tell with those pictures?

Presidential Webinar
January 28, 2022
We pre-recorded four 30-minute discussions with each Panelist around their work. Viewers were asked to watch these discussions before the Synchronous Webinar on January 28th, and to submit questions for the panelists to address during the webinar.
This virtual event was free and open to all scholars.
Panelists:
- Dr. Mildred Boveda, Pennsylvania State University
- Dr. Srikala Naraian, Teachers College, Columbia University
- Dr. Emily Nusbaum, Mills College & University of San Diego
- Dr. Paulo Tan, Johns Hopkins University
Organizer and Discussant: Dr. Phillip Boda, University of Illinois at Chicago
This webinar is the second in the newly initiated Presidential webinar series. The series is based on my NARST Presidential theme: Unity and Inclusion for Global Scientific Literacy: Invite as a community. Unite as a community. For this installment, I invited critical scholar Dr. Phillip Boda (University of Illinois at Chicago) to coordinate the webinar and continue our conversation about “inclusion” as pertains to science and science education.
Science education research has problematized who has historically been able to participate in the scientific enterprise, who may recognize themselves as scientists, and who can pursue science degrees. Pushing on work exploring science identity, access to general education curriculum, and legally-mandated accommodations, this Presidential webinar brings together a critical panel to discuss what inclusion could mean from outside the field. This panel will also imagine more inclusive and just futures in science education research, policy, and practice by positioning difference as a site of possibility. Attendees will be exposed to theories and methodologies that can be applied to more justice-oriented research and toward the development of more transdisciplinary collaborations.
