“STEM Talks: Ignite Curiosity, Explore Innovation”
The AMP-ED STEAM Team is on a mission to transform the way students perceive and engage with STEM education. Our STEM Talks program is designed to visit Palm Beach County schools, community programs, and learning centers, bringing a fresh and exciting approach to learning.
Through STEM Talks, we aim to accomplish two important goals. First, we want to empower students with an engaging, STEM-focused learning experience that’s not only educational but also incredibly fun. Our team of experts is dedicated to making STEM come alive, inspiring young minds to explore the realms of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics in a way that feels like an exciting adventure.
Secondly, STEM Talks offer an intriguing journey into the world of STEM through captivating insights. Did you know that Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is not just a protocol used in music production, but also a language that controls the Magic Kingdom Parade at Walt Disney World and the mesmerizing dancing fountains at Bellagio in Las Vegas? We’ll reveal how MIDI sequencing is akin to programming, a world where art and science converge.
Moreover, we’ll delve into the fascinating science behind audio engineering. Explore the inverse square law, the magic formula that audio engineers use to calculate microphone placement. Discover the incredible world of microphones, those ingenious transducers that convert acoustic energy into electric energy. Some microphones act like tiny generators, while others function like capacitors, storing energy. Crystal microphones even harness the power of the piezoelectric effect. It’s a captivating journey into the world of STEM that will leave you astounded and inspired.
