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 \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://workforce.teex.org/event/lean-fundamentals-am-01-15-2027/ LOCATION:Chaparral Building\, 223 N Chaparral St\, Corpus Christi\, TX\, 78401\, United States CATEGORIES:Coastal Bend Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20270119T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20270121T170000 DTSTAMP:20261102T162412Z CREATED:20261102T162340Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261102T162412Z UID:10001166-1800345600-1800550800@workforce.teex.org SUMMARY:Mechanical Drives I DESCRIPTION:SES600-8; 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.
