East Oregonian STEM: Discussed strategies for teaching more effectively Continued from 1A Sipe’s husband, Kyle, a middle school math and science teacher, then brought in robotics kits and let the teens loose to learn how to build and operate them. They stayed up late into the evening at the high school gymnasium working on their robots before retiring to bed. Some slept RQ WKH J\P ÀRRU RQH LQ D hammock, and the lone girl of the group on a table in a science classroom. Day two of the camp was more training, with the teens using phrases like “ultra- sonic sensors” and “calcu- late rotations” as freely and commonly as “dude” and “whatever.” One training activity had the teens separate into three groups and take turns role- playing as teacher, student and observer. Afterward they all met and debriefed with the help of Heidi Sipe. 7KHWHHQVLGHQWL¿HGWHFK- niques they thought worked, things they found confusing and strategies for teaching more effectively. Paige Matlack, 16, was the lone girl among the 11 students. The Umatilla High School student said she likes language arts and social sciences, but enjoys math and science, too. “I like a challenge,” she said. “And those challenge me.” The cheerleader and Key Club member is looking ahead to college and beyond, with hopes to be a biology teacher one day.

Benitiz likes the atmosphere of STEM and robotics, even though it’s competitive, he said. “Everybody is rooting for everybody, not against each other.” His favorite part is the programming and he’s hoping to make a career out of it someday. GOSTEM is a program meant to increase student interest in science, tech- nology, engineering and math.

Two airport managers said their boardings are approaching the 10,000 mark, a threshold that automatically triggers a $1 million grant from the DOT. Chrisman also shared a letter endorsing Boutique from the Round-Up Development Corp., an economic development organization that includes airport commissioner Mike Short and mayor-elect John Turner. “Boutique has thrived in the same types of rural markets that has caused SeaPort to go bankrupt,” Short wrote. “Boutique’s growth in enplanements has been impressive while SeaPort has remained stagnant. Boutique does not have issues with pilot shortages while SeaPort is chronically short on pilots and SeaPort’s turnover of key personnel is worri- some.” SeaPort wasn’t helped by a turbulent 2016 that saw the company drop a PDMRULW\ RI LWV URXWHV ¿OH for bankruptcy, get hit with a civil penalty from the Federal Aviation Admin- LVWUDWLRQ IRU À\LQJ SODQHV that weren’t airworthy and produce so few boardings that the DOT is considering stripping Pendleton of its EAS subsidy. The city has objected to the DOT’s ruling, and if that isn’t successful, Chrisman expects the department to issue a waiver. ——— Contact Antonio Sierra at asierra@eastoregonian. com or 541-966-0836. 1 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme The higher the AccuWeather.com UV Index™ num- ber, the greater the need for eye and skin protection.
