We're delighted to be a part of this research, which will use #YouthEngineeringSolutions instructional materials (#classroom #engineering lessons). #STEM #equity
Congrats to Kirsten Daehler who received an #IESfunded #NCER award to develop a professional learning model for emergent language learners in grades 3–5 that creates opportunities to learn engineering in ways that honor culture and experiences https://t.co/uY0Pq0JCkQ

This is worth a read: Metanalysis of 263 research studies of k-12 #engineering education found "engaging youth in engineering challenges relevant to their communities" is a highly engaging strategy. https://t.co/6uPSoJyg7Z

#genderstereotypes about #STEM start early. We believe this can change. We are working for change.
Early in elementary school, many children already believe that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering. That stereotype can impact girls’ willingness to participate in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) ...

This is so true--young children DO think #engineers fix cars! Early exposure to #classroomengineering is critical for #k-18 #students to see themselves as engineers.
