Let's Go with GoOpenNC
Did you know that NC now offers a completely free platform to access and share lessons? This session will give you an introduction to GoOpenNC, launched in December 2019. The GoOpen movement encourages the sharing, use, and "remixing" of lessons that are vetted and standards-based. In this session, you will also learn to navigate the platform, as well as how to join or create "hubs," such as the Engineering hub, which connects educators to lessons on specific topics and to other content specialists. Come prepared to learn, explore, connect and maybe even add your own original lessons to the platform!

Underrepresented minorities and women in STEM need GRACE. Incorporating GRACE into our middle and high school lessons will help students successfully make the transition from high school to college, and college to career. In this session, we will explore the five elements that could help students combat the frequently reported obstacles faced by STEM college students; such as racial bias, feelings of isolation, difficult coursework, and lack of mentors.
