Student engagement in science and engineering brings advances in systematic thinking, mathematical reasoning, computational understanding, and the ability to succeed in a world that is increasingly controlled and measured by digital means. Join us as we learn from master teachers who use creative and engaging methods that have an effect on the real world. Engineer real solutions to real problems using a combination of digital methods and real-world technology that is inexpensive and easy to deploy or reuse for student purposes. See how abandoned technologies can be used to create new learning projects. Learn the basic methods and discover how to get your students involved with the “Maker Movement.” See how coding and simple robotics can be used as a way of learning science and math that “sticks beyond the summer.” Return to your school with ideas and plans for engaging your students.
