Next, the teacher-student teams were directed to solve a givenchallenge by designing, building, and programming an integrated robotics solution.

Hands-on experiments are ideal to illustrate these challenging concepts and thus constitutean integral part of the science and engineering curriculum. An ideal experiment involving a systemin which responses depend on multiple parameters should be constructed such that individualcomponents can be altered arbitrarily to understand their significance to the response of the system.Unfortunately, such experiments are often not realizable in classroom or even laboratory settings.Computer simulations can remediate some of the problems associated with the visualization ofcomplex processes; however, do not

Teacher preparation programs are slowly adapting their curriculum to train pre-service teachers with the skills needed to integrate engineering into their classrooms, but most K-6 educators have little or no background in STEM disciplines. This has led to schools reachingout for expertise from their local communities to incorporate STEM education experiences (Oziset al. 2018).
