Middle School Science Minute

EMPATHY IN STEM EDUCATION

I was recently reading the April/May, 2017 issue of "Science Scope," a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the the article, "The Importance of Cultivating Empathy in STEM Education." It was written by Kathy Liu Sun. The article describes how there are three ways to embed empathy in STEM classes:
1. Connect STEM content to real people.
2. Bring in a guest to share his or her perspective.
3. Add a "human-user" to an existing project.
