"You will learn tangible ways to take your students outside, engage
your students with engineering concepts, and learn how other teachers
have succeeded or altered a lesson for success." -Workshop Participant
Learn how to use an Engineering Design Process to help students
investigate local problems, identify stakeholers and develop solutions
as you interact with a real world schoolyard engineering problem.
Then, explore what is involved in putting student ideas into action
including possible real-world constraints, practical small-scale
solutions, potential partners and mini-grant options. We’ll work
together to figure out a plan for the topics and students you teach.
Important Notes: You are strongly encouraged to attend our Science in
your Schoolyard Workshop before this one. This workshop is intended
for teachers and informal educators who teach science to 2nd through
8th grade students. Other teachers are welcome to join but may find
the examples provided less relevant to their classrooms. We encourage
teachers to bring your grade level team. This workshop include a $120
stipend for public school teachers who complete related surveys. The
stipend will be mailed at the end of the 2018-19 School Year. 6 STEM
clock hours are available pending approval from the Puget Sound ESD.
Clock hours will need to be claimed and paid for on the ESD website
after the workshop is complete. This is an IslandWood-King County
program funded by King County Wastewater and OSPI through its
ClimeTime Grant.
