Engineering: It's Elementary
Marriott Ballroom 1, Indianapolis Marriott Downtown
Pre-Conference Session
Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
Are you looking for ways to add enthusiasm and motivation to your science classes? This CESI session will help you get hands-on with two NEW elementary engineering programs. Join us in a day filled with exciting engineering investigations you can take right back to your classroom. Come learn about the latest in STEM initiatives:
- Engineering is Elementary (EiE) is a project from the Boston Museum of Science. EiE lessons not only promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning but also connects with literacy and social studies. Unit storybooks feature characters from around the world and encourage children to delve into an engineering design challenge.
- Family Engineering is an after-school program modeled after the successful Family Math and Family Science programs. These innovative, hands-on lessons help teachers facilitate informal events where families can explore engineering skills while they engage in inquiry, creativity, and problem-solving activities together.
Our goal is to send you home ready to teach an EiE lesson and to lead an evening of informal engineering experiences for your students and their families. You will leave with free instructional materials – to include a sample EiE literature book and the complete Family Engineering activity guide ($45 value). Registration includes lunch. Cost: $75
