It is targeted at Middle School Science teachers\, but is used in a variety of K-12 and even College educational settings. Kata in the Classroom involves the activity of assembling a 15-piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle several times\, and experimenting with ways to do it faster.   The KIC exercise combines a practical scientific pattern (the “Improved Kata”) with techniques of deliberate practice\, to help make scientific thinking a teachable skill that anyone can learn. Teams of students (a) establish a baseline\, (b) face a Challenge\, (c) develop a next Target Condition on the way to the Challenge and (d) conduct experiments toward that Target Condition. While the students are engaged in a challenging game they are simultaneously being introduced to a scientific meta skill. KIC helps teach universal STEM skills for achieving challenging goals along uncharted paths: (1) Scientific and Creative Thinking – generate and refine solutions to obstacles through experimentation (2) Collaboration – work in a team to accomplish a next goal on the way to a larger challenge (3) Communication – organize thoughts\, data & findings\, and share them effectively.   \n\n\n\n \n \n Register URL:https://workforce.teex.org/event/forklift-operator-heavy-equipment-17/ LOCATION:TX CATEGORIES:Rio Grande Valley END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260319T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260319T170000 DTSTAMP:20260418T040852 CREATED:20260217T222345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260220T212024Z UID:10000811-1773907200-1773939600@workforce.teex.org SUMMARY:Forklift Operator (Heavy Equipment) DESCRIPTION:SES600-11; One session\, 1-day Registration required.  \n\n\n\n \n Kata in the Classroom (KIC) is a hands-on exercise to introduce the scientific pattern of the Improvement Kata in school classrooms.

Teams of students (a) establish a baseline\, (b) face a Challenge\, (c) develop a next Target Condition on the way to the Challenge and (d) conduct experiments toward that Target Condition. While the students are engaged in a challenging game they are simultaneously being introduced to a scientific meta skill. KIC helps teach universal STEM skills for achieving challenging goals along uncharted paths: (1) Scientific and Creative Thinking – generate and refine solutions to obstacles through experimentation (2) Collaboration – work in a team to accomplish a next goal on the way to a larger challenge (3) Communication – organize thoughts\, data & findings\, and share them effectively.   \n\n\n\n \n \n Register \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://workforce.teex.org/event/training-within-industry-job-instruction-pm-2/ LOCATION:Rich Products CATEGORIES:Rio Grande Valley END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260519T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260521T170000 DTSTAMP:20260418T040852 CREATED:20260417T160527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260417T160840Z UID:10000863-1779177600-1779382800@workforce.teex.org SUMMARY:AC/DC Electrical Systems w/ optional SACA Exam DESCRIPTION:SES600-11; One session\, 1-day Registration required.  \n\n\n\n \n Kata in the Classroom (KIC) is a hands-on exercise to introduce the scientific pattern of the Improvement Kata in school classrooms. It is targeted at Middle School Science teachers\, but is used in a variety of K-12 and even College educational settings. Kata in the Classroom involves the activity of assembling a 15-piece cardboard jigsaw puzzle several times\, and experimenting with ways to do it faster.   The KIC exercise combines a practical scientific pattern (the “Improved Kata”) with techniques of deliberate practice\, to help make scientific thinking a teachable skill that anyone can learn. Teams of students (a) establish a baseline\, (b) face a Challenge\, (c) develop a next Target Condition on the way to the Challenge and (d) conduct experiments toward that Target Condition.
