2021.11.10 Going through my notes from yesterday, the next step is setting up a way to exchange information and feedback with the teachers. Can you set this up?

I will have the first couple of “to go boxes” ready for next week. Is there a place where they can be kept and be accessible?

The first projects are Measurement, the Spoons and Sticks, and Flight. I will put the information about each on lectriclibrary.org - teachers can add comments so this would be one way to track feedback as teachers use the projects.

Do you have or can you recommend 2-3 books that we can use as an exploration starter?

This is where teacher collaboration kicks in. What do they have in mind, either as topics/themes or specific projects? I can suggest some others. It is much better to work with teachers to put together projects that they can connect with other class work. It sounded like they already had some ideas. How can we get this going?

Thanks for your help.

Most K-8 educators have little or no background in engineering. . Scientists study the world as it is; engineers create the world that has never been. — Theodore von Kármán . Scientists typically seek multiple strands of evidence to support or refute claims about the natural world (Scientific Method), while engineers use an iterative problem solving process to meet specific, often human-related, needs (Engineering Design Process).

spatial visualization
2021.10 spatial visualization. . Spatial visualization (SV) is the ability to think in 3D. Did you know that up to 60% of students in STEM programs have weak SV skills? This skills gap can lead to difficulty in engineering, technology, and science classes which require proficiency with 3D thinking. Thankfully, studies have shown that SV skills are teachable and improve student outcomes in STEM fields. SV training is especially beneficial for women and other underrepresented populations that may have had less experience in playing with building toys as children and find themselves at a disadvantage when entering STEM fields. . Sketching 2D and 3D shapes is the recommended approach to improving SV skills. Sketching is also important for creativity, project-based learning, and teamwork. https://home.edweb.net/webinar/stem20211109/
