Description
We need to prepare our students for 21st century careers! There is a critical need for students to study engineering, the E of STEM, as it is the academic glue that binds math and science with real-world experiences. Gifted education pedagogy, such as development of creativity, application of advanced concepts, and the generation of innovative ideas, are all essential to engineering education.
Recognize engineering concepts that exist in every moment of the day. Come learn about engineering, how to highlight engineering concepts, and how to afford your students with the opportunity to experience engineering by utilizing the Engineering Design Process.
