 7 Critical Factors in Successful Elementary and Middle School Engineering Projects John Heffernan, PhD Thursday, September 27th, 2018 at 7PM Designerly play has been identified as a fundamental component of
childhood learning. However, as
students enter grade one and beyond, the increasing academic focus has resulted
in the loss of opportunities for designerly play. At the same time, there are increasing calls to increase the
number, skill, and diversity of STEM workers. The robotics based Elementary Engineering Curriculum
(Heffernan, 2013) - used by students in this study - and other similar projects
have the potential to increase the STEM pipeline but elementary engineering is
not well-understood. The speaker researched how to teach engineering to
students as their cognitive, motor, and social skills rapidly develop in
elementary school. Zoom Room: https://zoom.us/j/877550836 The new lineup will focus on coding and computer science K-12. Webinars will be posted here as they are scheduled! If you have recommendations for presenters or want to present, please contact (gharrington at neiste dot org)
