&lt;mdoxml version=&quot;1.0&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Feedback from the teachers workshops (morning session, September 30, 2011)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Teachers were asked to try the Helicopter activity, then reflect on it from the perspective of their subject, using these questions as a stimulus:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How might you use this activity in the classroom?
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;which topics/students?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;how would you change or develop it?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What would you want to see in the teachers&amp;#39; notes to help teachers who aren&amp;#39;t convinced about STEM to have a go?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you see any barriers that would get in the way of teachers using the task?
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;how could NRICH support teachers in overcoming such barriers?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
