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/total-productive-maintenance-11-10-2026/ LOCATION:RAMI Hub\, 18505 State Highway 48\, Brownsville\, Texas\, 78520 CATEGORIES:Rio Grande Valley END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261110T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261112T170000 DTSTAMP:20261030T143954Z CREATED:20261001T161500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261030T143954Z UID:10001132-1794297600-1794502800@workforce.teex.org SUMMARY:Electrical Fabrication 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.

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.
