Inquiry Hub Open House - January 2015
The Inquiry Hub focuses on inquiry-based, student-driven learning in math, science, and humanities, promoting practical application and technology integration. Students are encouraged to explore topics deeply through online courses and independent projects, with support from teachers. The program requires essential graduation courses and fosters skills needed for success in a self-motivated, collaborative environment.

Passionate Students who: Want to apply learning in a practical way Are interested in learning with technology Want to go beyond structured classes Already have a passion or are seeking something to study in-depth Desire to work on projects that make a difference Independent and self-motivated
- 8. The vision forMath/Science education at iHub • Science • Technology • Engineering • Art • Mathematics • Design Thinking Mr. Sarte
- 9. What will itlook like? • Math/Science “content” will be online and students can “consume” information at their planned pace • Quizzes and tests to accompany online components • Students analyse, evaluate, and transform their understanding through inquiry projects (their own or guided)
- 10. Example: Science 9 •Students will learn about – static and current electricity – charge, current, resistance, voltage, energy and power – connecting series and parallel circuits – remote-sensing technologies such as those used in space exploration
- 11. Microcontrollers and robotics •Arduino compatible boards – circuits and coding • Robotics – coding (Sparki, pi-bot, BOE bot, etc.) • Robotics – design your own (student inquiry) • VEX robotics (if funded)
- 12. Humanities, and IntegratedLearning (Across grades and subjects) • Example: iHUB Reads fishbowl discussions Mr. Soiseth
- 13. • Use ofextensive online learning resources A typical day at iHub includes: Hannah & Julian
- 14. Learning online Online courses -Setting goals - Self motivation - Independent - Consistent progress - Conferencing with teachers Hannah
- 15. ‘Required’ Courses Foundations ofInquiry Applications of Digital Literacy - Building the skills to be successful (Not just expecting students to have them)
- 16. Graduation Courses All thenecessary courses for students to graduate with a BC Dogwood (High School Diploma) Including IDS courses (Independent Directed Studies)

Editor's Notes
- #11 Students will read about these things, watch videos, ask questions, discuss, but the background work will lead towards a guided inquiry in microcontrollers and robotics.
