What if students habitually explored the key questions posed by scientists, engineers, and designers in anything they do? Innovators’ Compass is a 5-question tool, in all-free online and offline formats, to make that possible—developed by an MIT and IDEO alumna who’s now an Olin College educator. A quick introduction will include short videos of the Compass used in STEM.

1.  Learn about a visual tool, in all-free on-and-offline formats, with 5 questions distilled from many practices in science, engineering, design, and beyond.
    
2. See students and educators applying these for STEM, interdisciplinary, and SEL problems and projects.
    
3. Use these 5 questions with peers on a pressing problem: how to advance hands-on STEM in (semi) virtual times.
