Final report, overview and stats from 2013 Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day event led by the Women in Engineering Program at The University of Texas at Austin

Program of events and activities for The University of Texas at Austin Women in Engineering Program (UTWEP) Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (Girl Day) event.

The Center for Engineering Education and Outreach at Tufts University does research on engineering education and also provides tools, resources, and training for teachers from pre-kindergarten through college.

MINDSTORMS and engineering workshops and resources for teachers

Engineering in the elementary and middle school classrooms can be easier than you think. Join us as we share ideas and activities from the elementary engineering workshop.

What are the cognitive, development processes children need in order to build habits of inquiry for engineering? How do you help children bank a memory of errors needed for problem solving? How do you create equality engineering opportunities in your classroom? These questions will be discussed and see signature engineering programs in action as we tour schools and centers.

Engineering activities from table 1 and 2 of session

PowerPoint about a high school course that supports engineering elements of the NGSS

Sign for the BANK and STORE for engineering the tallest free standing straw tower

Students at Rapoport Academy use the Engineering Design Process in STEM activities. In this activity, students are challenged to build a geodesic dome with gumdrops and toothpicks.

Crime Lab Chemistry (LHS GEMS) adapted to illustrate the difference between science and engineering practices

Place-Based Engineering Power Point Presentation

Setting up lessons and using modeling practices in science and engineering contexts, and linking the two

This PowerPoint would be used by the teacher to guide students in a four day chemical engineering project. Students act as materials scientists working for a toy company as they investigate factors that affect the properties of a polymer that might be used as a new toy.
